Default dead B+S mower engine

Spark plug gap for BS engines is 0.035, so 0.040 isn't that
far off. Some idiots need to stop embarassing themselves
with clueless flames.

The valve clearance. Over time the valve seats wear and
the gap
closes, not allowing the vlave to close completely. If the
vlave
clearance is less than .04, the valves MUST be removed and
ground down
to the proper clearance.
