Mend Briggs & Stratton 195432 Open Valve Closed

2nd valve starting to open before 1st valve is closed?

On an 8hp(Briggs&Stratton model 195432,type 0149 01 code 79072412)when pulling starter rope I feel suction on intake then air blows out of intake.I took head off engine and saw the second valve starting to open before first valve was closed? How do I fix it?

This is NORMAL. It's called valve overlap, and has been present on every poppet-valve 4-stroke engine since they started using cam-operated inlets (about 1910!). Without it, your 400CC engine would produce about 3HP, and use twice as much fuel. This, however, has nothing to do with the 'blow-back' from the inlet. This is part of the compression release mechanism, and is designed to reduce the effort needed to crank the engine fast enough to start it. At running speed, the inertia of the incoming charge from the carb is enough to prevent it being blown back out the air filter.

In short - whatever problem you may be having with the engine, this isn't part of it!
