Can anyone suggest a good valve spring compressor for a k301,321?

I use this one.

Ahhhh,thank you sir!

Got one on the way

I should have just asked to begin with...LOL, instead I wound up with something that didn't work well before!

Bob, just be careful you don't "stab" the rotator instead of getting UNDER it!
If you mistakenly "stab" it you will be looking for another rotator!!

And don't lose the tiny "keepers"
A dab of grease and a small screw driver will aid in re-installing them

You got it,thanks Dave.

This is what I use. Works much better than that one in my opinion. Mine like yours just bent.

Never had luck with that Briggs and Stratton style except on Briggs and Strattons.

Jake that's the style I used on a 321 I was into and it fought me the whole way. It seemed like it wouldn't grip the spring cups very well.
