HOW THE COMPRESSION RELEASE WORKS ON MOST SMALL ENGINES

Today We look at the decompression release on a camshaft in a 14.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine#SmallEngineMechanic #Briggs&Stratton #CompressionRelease #LawnmowerRepair #LawnMoreMechanic #LawnmowerMechanic

I'm taking an internal combustion engine class in college for an ME degree (senior year). Your explanation cleared up more in 5 minutes than an hours worth of textbook digging and google searching could. appreciate ya!

I'm 55 and I have wondered for years how the decompression mechanism works - you would not believe how happy I am to finally understand how it works! - Huge thanks for the video

[PaulR]

Dozens of yt videos with small engine compression release explanations - this one is BY FAR the best. Thank you!

[mcwhls]

Concise explanation without all the blah blah blah. Thank you!

[yagvaaj]

now I finally understand what this decompression valve is on my 84 Suzuki LT185. I've looked all over the net and this is the most detailed easily understood explanation of this topic. Thanks!

[nashguy]

Good video Jeremy. This should help people that don't understand how it works!

[fixit]

WOW!!! Finally someone, you, explain how these things work. I never knew .. Thank you

[FeguerFineArt]

Thanks so much. 2:33 was the hit me over the head ah ha moment for me. I heard it explained many time but, your visual brought it to light for me. Thanks again.

Been a machine for 35 years that is a verry good explication of how compression release works and i did know B/S had that in the small engines. thank you J C

[lawrencecarroll]

Excellent Jeremy! I understood the concept, but, had never seen the exact detail in which the ACR worked before! Thanks again!

[joeh]

I've just started watching you in the last few months. Awesome. Thanks

[EATSLEEPDRIVE]

Awesome, informative, no BS video! I’m definitely going to start using “Like Yay…” in daily life!

[jimwesselman]

I have a Kawasaki Fc420v, trying to start it, I would have my arm ripped out of its socket. I then realized that the valves needed adjustment. It was that mechanism that was giving me the problem! Thank You for the great video!

Allways wondered what that feeling of release was when I put my small engines at TDC for storage! Awesome vid!

[frankposterello]

Great explanation and demo. I have a vanguard 18hp that runs perfectly and strong, but if it doesn't start on the first pull, then the second stroke you feel on the second pull can break the cord. Then it starts every time at least on that third pull if it didn't on the first. Hoping it's this, and I can live with it. Nice to know how they work now though.

Well damn, I knew how the decompression worked on a big chainsaw but could not figure out how it worked on a larger mower engine... now I understand what people meant by "the bump". Thank you!

[cjones]

Thanks for this video. A Gorilla couldn't pull the start cord on my new Honda engine. The service manager had me draining oil and pully the sparkplug before I came across your video. One hit with my rubber mallet apparently dislodged a stuck relief and the engine started with one pull. The engine was shipped to me and I suspect the relief moved. The engine has been starting easily since. Thank you very much!

[adnacraigo]

I only had a basic understanding of compression releases on small four stroke engines. Thanks for explaining that.

[RicoCantrell]

I thought for sure there was something off about my cam. This explained it. Thanks a bunch!

I am working for the first time on a Briggstratton CR 950 and was confused with the exhaust valve because it opens a little bit and it sucked a little air and then opens all the way and discharge. Thanks for this video I learned way.thanks
