I built one of these with a new motor. Slightly ported as well. It won’t start. I’m going to rebuild it again today to make sure I did everything correctly but it most likely coming down to the carburetor. It’s just a few years old
@ thank you it went well. It turned over this time but wouldn’t stay running. The diagram looked pretty worn out but all the carburetor components looked and moved in working order.
Great video. I enjoyed your presentation style.
Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words!
Great video! I waited for that….thank you very much!👍😊
Glad you liked it, and I hope it helps you out!
What did you find? Did the rings lose temper? If so, why was the piston not damaged by the heat or the oil film burnt?
I comment on what happened at the beginning of the video, and after doing 2 compression tests, and again at 9:47.
Hi do you have a link from ebay where you bought the engine ?
No.
Just use the search feature on ebay.
where did you get the replacement engine from any help appreciated as i have 2 nonrunners
I believe this engine came from a power equipment supplier on ebay.

Good luck with it.
