Plug gap on tomahawk 15014s
Anything will run on a 40 thou gap. Ensure the plug is clean and dry around the electrode, sandblast if possible. Any debris in the plug base will cause shorting. Remove ALL carbon deposits. Check integrity of the plug lead.
Briggs & Stratton 650 (Model 120000) lawnmower
you are clearly burning oil. did you overfill? or tilt the unit so that engine oil went into the carb through the breather? now the carb may be soiled/partly clogged, you need to clean it. esp. the idler air part may be at fault. sometimes it is possible to run it at high rev until the fuel has washed out the oil, but better clean the carb and replace the air filter.
Troy bilt model 109429( year-1986 )v belt
Be sure to compare the removed belt to the new belt for length and width. Often belts get mis-packaged into the wrong container or otherwise mis-labeled. A belt that is even 1/4" longer will not provide the correct contact tension. Also be sure the pins that the carriage moves on are lubricated. Corrosion can keep the carriage from keeping tension on the belt as the carriage weight can not tension the belt. Hope this helps.

Oil drain plug for 7.5hp briggs straton engine
If you're looking to obtain an oil drain plug -- your post doesn't actually say that -- I'd recommend your local hardware or plumbing or home improvement store. Briggs & Stratton generally uses standard iron pipe threading on their oil sump drains. You'll want a 3/8" IPT plug.

What does the 5hp mean
it is how much power the motor has. In the old days people travelled on horses . One horse produced one horse power. So if you had a buggy with 5 horses attached to it you had a five horse power buggy. So your schredder engine has the equivalent power produced by five horses.

Hard pulling starter rope
You say Pull rope mechanism is ok, How do you know that? Ive's seen them get the rope a little off and gets caught being wedged into a small clearance. Is the rope wearing? I bet if you take it apart put a new nylon rope and some wd-40 in rubbing surfaces including the ratchet area it will be good as new. Crank bearing has to get really bad to effect pull. How is the spark?
Spliting power is less than should be
Sounds like you have air in the Hydraulic line. There must not be air because air will compress and it will do exactly what you described. To remove the air make sure your hydraulic fluid is full. Then cycle the ram a few times. Do not try to split yet. Do this again few times and top off the fluid again. When all the air is removed from the lines It will work properly.
How to set timing on briggs stratton 8.5 engine
Cam timing requires engine disassembly on small engines and it's either right or wrong.
You could be off on ignition timing if you sheared the key on the flywheel which then requires the flywheel to be removed to replace the key.
Make sure it's not something simple before you go deeper into the problem. Gas/fuel delivery, dirty carb, bad spark plug, all the safeties not made.
