Clearances differ for the two valves and typically range from . 002 – . 004″ to . 005 – .
Valve Clearance Tips

Recommended valve-to-piston clearance is generally 0.080-inch minimum on the intake side and 0.100-inch minimum for the exhaust valve. The exhaust needs a little more clearance because it expands more with heat.

Tappet clearance, also known as valve clearance, is the small gap between the rocker arm and the top of the valve stem (Yoke). Engineers can observe and adjust tappet clearance only when the valves are in a closed position and the engine is cooled at the compression stroke.
Check the clearance between the top rocker arm and the corresponding valve stem, located in the center of the valve spring, using a feeler gauge. If the clearance reading falls outside of the acceptable range of . 005- and . 007-inch, the top exhaust valve is out of adjustment.
Too much clearance means the valves will likely clatter and, over the long term, cause damage to the valves, camshaft lobes or rocker arms. If there`s too little valve clearance, the valves won`t fully close, causing excessive heat, and the engine will lose power.
This is the total volume remaining in the cylinder at the end of the piston stroke. This consists of the volume between the end of the piston and the cylinder head, in the valve ports and the volume in the suction valve guards and the discharge valve seats [26].
Rule of nine

With any given valve open, count what number valve that is from the front. Subtract that number from nine. Whatever number you`re left with is the valve you`re in position to set. So, with number 1 rocker opening its valve, you`ll be setting clearance on (9 minus 1), number 8 valve.

Tappet clearance is the clearance between the rocker arms and the point where they rest on the valves. Usually both the surfaces are flat surfaces. In four stroke engines, rockers arms arrangement opens and closes the inlet and outlet valves. But there is no direct connection between the two.
To do that on a four-cylinder, eight-valve engine, use the rule of nine. Counting from the front of the engine if number eight valve is fully open, subtract eight from nine and the answer is one, so adjust the clearance on valve number one. If number six is closed, then adjust number three and so on.
This is the total volume remaining in the cylinder at the end of the piston stroke. This consists of the volume between the end of the piston and the cylinder head, in the valve ports and the volume in the suction valve guards and the discharge valve seats [26].
If the valve clearance is too tight, then the valve will open earlier and close later then intended. If it too loose, the valve will open later and close earlier. The effect of setting the valve lash too tight can result in the valve not fully closing on the seat.
To adjust the valve clearance, slacken the locknut with a ring spanner and screw the ball in or out of the rocker a tiny amount, checking the clearance betwixt valve and rocker with feeler gauges. Once it`s correct, tighten the locknut and check again.

Hard hitting on compression stroke when starting
ANSWER : If its the 21 or 20 hp OHV single briggs. Adjust vales to .004. The cam also has a decompression that breaks, Causing hard start. So if valves are adjusted and u still have problem. “Could” be cam, remove bottom cover and inspect cam. new cam about 75 to 100 bucks.
