Not sure if I can talk about fairly new engines, but I'll try it.
I was given a Ranch King with a 16.5 hp Briggs OHV engine. Not sure what exact model it is bc the cowling tag is gone. It doesnt have compression on half of the motors cycles (if that makes sense) When you turn it over by hand you can feel it get hard to turn and then easy, then easy, then easy, then hard. If I understand my 4 cycle motor technology properly it should have compression twice and no compression twice in the cycle.
I then pulled the valve cover to investigate. I was expecting to find a c clip off a valve or something. Nothing really seemed out of the ordinary. The top rocker arm seemed to have a lot of play, but that is all I really saw.
