This is what the Briggs CE8069 Repair Manual lists for tune-ups:

The Briggs 1981 print Repair Manual also says to clean any grass and debris out of the cooling fins. Compressed air is by far the most effective way of doing this.

I do highly recommend checking the tappet clearances, as well. If those need servicing, you will need to order a new cylinder head gasket.

Checking and adjusting the ignition contact points involves removing the starter clutch and flywheel, but that's not usually too difficult.

Cheers,
