George is right. Forget the adjustable hub and everything else....until you accurately measure the actual firing point by determining top dead center with a dial indicater and use a timing light and degree wheel...you are absolutely shooting in the dark. Myself...until I actually measured it...I was miles off from where I THOUGHT I was. Fortunately for me..I was guessing low.

So now that everyone has had their say, nothing is solved. I stand by my theory that the Briggs piston is a pile of monkey doo doo. I've just seen too many of them shatter in all kinds of applications. G can do what he will with his Tecumsehs because the pistons will take whatever you dish out to them.

Funny thing, it basically just shut off. No big boom or anything. Rather disappointing.

Only thing I heard was the pop of another beer can opening (mine) when Little Eddie's motor broke. Better his engine than one of my twins. Cheers!!!
