Gday tecoumseh lovers , lol I have a problem when I wind it over it seems to have too much compression so I pulled it apart to check the timing but as I lifted the sump of the timing cam popped out . Put the timming cam back in how it is supposed to be I think ( lined the dots up) then I turned the crankshaft and it appears to be easier to turn. It looks a little different to the briggs but all works the same I guess. I'm wondering if the decompression was jamed or something. Valves look ok. [Linked Image]

Can you tell me if I have the timing right in the first photo and how the decompressor thinky supposed to work and when you put the timing cam in is there a certain way to put in so the decompression trigger works or does this sought itself out when I put the cam in. Sorry if I'm not real clear .
