Thanks,

PS - yes, this is an admission that I did not follow your advice completely. My bad.
It is there just takes entering the correct search terms. This chart covers many of the Briggs engines basic torques but doesn't cover the newer Chinese build engines. The service manual usually cover the rest of torques.

As Bgs says your will need the starter tool so you can torque the this starter clutch. It is easier to remove these with this tool than using a hammer and punch.
