Did you get this running yet?

Man those look awfully similar. Other than the one and the two. Sure look like cracks to me. Strange way to put casting numbers on. ????

She is an auto-choker. Easy to get running proper. Someone on here had a manual all about the autochoke system. Had lots of great tips in it. Need to look into yours and make sure it's working proper. Look into the autochoke first. Then if it is working proper, dive into the carb or filthy...

Agree. Plastic on the float and such are nice and white.

Means zero to me. Battery needs to be LOAD tested to confirm. Find someone with a real carbon pile tester. Call all the auto parts stores and ask if they have one. It's the only real, accurate way, to test a battery. How far, does it jump in free air? How big of a gap till it starts sputtering...

I applaud this guy for doing this. Would be tremendous if he did get it running. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Now fix the rod and put a big pipe plug in the side of the block. Can later check your oil, directly, using the plug LOL.

Nice....... Thanks for letting us know. Now go slay some grass.

No engine numbers provided. Do you have a fuel pump or gravity feed? At this 15 minute mark, do you have a solid fuel flow INTO the carb inlet? Are both cylinders firing? A thermal IR gun will tell you instantly if they are or not.

It runs on air, fuel, spark (at the correct time) and compression. You tell us if YOU think the lack of fuel is an issue. Mark gave you a good place to start. I didn't see any videos either. Upload to youtube and link them here so we can watch your videos.

Welcome. Don't glob on RTV if you ever adjust the valves.

LOVE all the RTV on the valve covers. :p :ROFLMAO: (y)

THAT is an after-fire solenoid. If kills fuel into the main jet only, to stop gun shot like sounds when the key is turned OFF. Engine winding down pulls fuel into the hot muffler and you get a nice Uncle Buck like BANG. When you turn the key on, should have battery voltage there at the...

Even without mice chewing around. I would be nervous to leave that on a charger unattended.

This time of year weather is cooling off. Mice and rats look for a new home. Might bait out your property and clean up areas of piled up junk if you have those. Obviously missed a wire or ten with the electrical tape job. For future issues, mowers bounce around all over your yard. Means the...

12.4VDC is a low charged battery. Need to run her at 3600rpm to keep the battery up. Even then a Battery tender every couple months is not out of line. Alternators do not top off batteries. Want proof? Drive your car or truck for an hour. Connect a Battery Tender up as soon as you get back...
