Can you tell me how to set the lifters on a Briggs and Stratton 20 HP motor?

You just have to find the adjustment screws on the lifter. Once you find them you will want to get a measuring tool and make sure that the factory clearance at room temp is met. Once you have set it to the tolerance it should be set and you may have to test it.

The most important thing is to make sure the vibration dampners (black rubber shock asborbers) are correctly placed or the engine will vibrate itself to pieces.
