After replacing the coil that was shorted out several places in the wire i put my new one in and motor fired right up, ran ok for a 30 yr old engine. cut it off and back on fine. Later that evening i went to restart it and it would not. Kept going through everything respaced the coil, but i had spark both times. Sprayed carb cleaner in to make sure i was getting fuel and no go. Pulled the carb and looked through it, put back on and readjusted to factory settings no start. So i pulled the head to have a lookse. Problem found the valve seat on the exhaust valve was loose and hanging aroung the shaft of the exhause valve not letting it close so i have no compression.
Question is this something that can be pressed back in? Fairly economical? This is a 30 year old briggs engine, rings have wear as it smokes, so im not going to throw $200 at it if it can even be done? Reason it came loose? Is the block wallowed out possibly where the seat presses in?
