Hey everyone well as my journey into learning about small engines continues I have another question that I would appreciate an answer to. I purchased a stage 1 performance kit for my gx200 clone and the kit comes with 18lb valve springs as well as a timing key. I'm planning on installing these myself and have seen a few tutorials that have given me a fair idea on how to do so only thing is I don't know what these parts honestly do.
So there's to valves (exhaust and intake) right? What exaclty do the springs do? And why is a heavier spring a boost to performance? How do the valves work as well?
The next head scratcher is the timing key? What's the function and how would it improves performance?
Sorry if these are face Palm worthy, I just felt the ethical need to know what they do before I try change them haha.
Thanks everyone! This place is a crazy good resource for help!
