"Inherited" this engine which was attached to a 50" Troy-Bilt Big Red....Circa 2006. Was running when I got, not very well.
Pulled the engine and broke it down. Replaced the complete gov. system. All other parts looked good. Regasket and put it back together, and back on the tractor.
Now, the problem, on a compression check, getting 120#s outa #1 cylinder....O outa #2 cylinder. Piston is moving.Took the valve cover off. Valve operating. Recheck valve lash. Everything looks lovely, except NO Compression.
Comments, suggestions, criticisms, etc. before I break down this engine....again??
