well got it mostly back together need to finish up the water pump plumbing but i was tryign to get it to fire up jsut aonce
I usualy mess aroudn with hit miss engines and spin the flywheel but the flywheel is little small so best way to start this little gem
if i give it a good flick onthe flywheel it turns about 1/4 turn is this normal compression is good spark and gas tank is not set up but i filled the carb with gas/oil mix coil thougha nice spark
basical i wondering any techniques on starting o ne
thanks in advanced |

The easiest way to start them is to bounce against compression. On a two port motor you can choke it and rock it back and forth, this will pull fuel mix into the crankcase and charge the cylinder. I think your engine may be a three port, on these you have to turn the engine more to open the third port before it will take a charge. If you have a compression release you can open it and choke the carb, covering the intake with one hand, and pull it through compression a few times. Usually you will see a few drops of fuel from the carb. Scheblers have a slot below the throttle plate to allow fuel to drip, don't use a gasket between throttle plate and carb. Once you have it primed set the timer all the way to one side and bounce the flywheel against compression so that it will fire when coming up. Once it fires you have to immediately advance the timing to keep it running. When starting cold it helps to hold you finger to partially cover the carb inlet to richen the mixture a little until it gets enough fuel to run smooth. Sneezing back through the carb is a sign of a lean mixture and means it needs more fuel. |
