THIS IS A VERY DETAILED EXPLAINATION, BUT ALSO A SIMPLE PROCESS on the front of the motor, looking up from under the vehicle, there is a plate behind the bottom pully called a harmonic balancer. using a white crayon, mark the groove that runs across the width of the balancer. you may have to turn the pulley to find it. this can be done by using a socket. in the pulley there is a bolt, 5/8 or 3/4 inch in size, that holds everything together. be sure to put the socket in the very center one, not one of the outer ones. just turn the pulley with the socket until the line comes around. after it is marked, continue turning the pulley until you think it is pointing toward the Power Steering pump. looking from above the motor, standing in front of the driver's side headlight, find the pulley and balancer assembly. look closely between the alternator and power steering pump. you will see a small piece mounted very close to the balancer. it will look like it has teeth or arrows. on that plate there will be a line with TDC or 0 imprinted on it. just turn the pulley with the ratched until the white mark lines up with TDC/0 mark and you will have found top dead center on the #1 cylinder (closest plug to the driver's headlight)

How do you find tdc on 15.5 Briggs and stratton?

the easiest way to find tdc is to take a clean rag and insert it in the spark plug hole and turn the engine over slowly until the rag pops out. once it pops out carefully insert a screwdriver into the plug hole and turn the motor by hand to feel if the screwdriver moves up or down. turn it both ways to ensure it is at tdc. it is not the recommended way to do it, but it works as long as you are careful not to scratch the piston head with the screwdriver or introduce dirt via the rag
