Conversation with my uncle says B&S OHV engines have a reputation for hard cranking. Searched OHV INTEK VALVE adjustment on web and found all kinds of info. Compression release becomes inoperative when the valves are out of adjustment, recommend yearly adjustment... I'll be adjusting valves this weekend!
Well, the INTEK started easily first try today with valves adjusted and a fresh charged battery. I suppose I'll wait and see how it starts/acts next week before I declare it fixed.
