Looks like oil in cylinder

[Carscw]

The oil problem was likely the head gasket, why it won't start is another one altogether. This has been a long and convoluted thread full of bad advice. When was the last time the engine ran and smoked badly??? Detail the next several steps...

It seams as every thread is full of bad advice if everyone does not bow down to you and what you say.

If you knew anything about engines and could build your own with out a book then you would know why my way of adjusting valves works.

Just because someone does not do something the way you do does NOT make their way wrong.

People have been adjusting valves like this for years and years.

There is a thread on here about it.

Myself and 100s of others have been doing this for years. This is the only way I adjust valves for the past 25 years. I have engines with over 2000 hours on them so I must be doing something right.

Sure, but why would you constantly do it the wrong way? Did your grand dad do it that way??? Did your grand dad find out that is was true on all of the brands that we, err "I" work on?????

And it is the wrong way why? And we all know that you do not work on engines.

And we all no that you do not work on engines.

know?

know?

Auto correct.

So how is my way and so many others the wrong way?

That last method that you crapped out there is yours alone, I am fairly sure.....

Whether it works or not, well, like your other advice, it is worth looking at here..... Any posts that back it up? any of your advice for that matter?

Again can you tell us why it is the wrong way?
Try it on any engine then do it as the book says to. And it will have the same outcome.

The problem with you is you can not do anything that you have not read in a book.

You are not even a has been your I never was and never will be.

I would love to be next you in a shop and go head to head putting a mower together from a pile of parts with no books to help you. To include building the engine.

OK, I did manage to check the key in the flywheel and it is good. I didn't get it back together being too tired and I figured someone might have another idea to share. That is the weirdest thing!! I mean it not starting!
As far as the history of the problem is concerned. It started to blow blue smoke out the exhaust about 3/4 way through the last cut. My wife was operating it at the time and called me over. I checked a few things while it was idling and let the motor cool by air. She finished the cut and parked it in the shed and shut the gas off. When the next cut time came I went out to start it and it would not start. The oil was down a half liter and the plug was wet with oil and perhaps gas and the rest is recorded here with the start of the thread.
I haven't seen any comment with regards to the intake valve that I wrote a few posts ago. I have never seen a valve go the wrong way in mid stroke! Thanks all.

I had time to work on the BS motor today and got it started. I cleaned the carb again and put fresh gas in the tank and got it started. I changed the oil and the filter and it ran good for the time that I had to cut before I got rained out. I think it will be OK and I want to thank everyone for their input and will end this thread. If I have any more problems I will start another. Thanks again.:smile:
