Reply To: Wisconsin RBM starting help

Tubs, I was laying in bed last night thinking about the next plan of attack.
First, I’m going to look at the poppet valve, spring, and needle in the carb
to see if improvements are needed.

And I thought about pulling it through compression, but I need to mark
or re-mark the timer position for TDC so I don’t get any nasty surprises.
My hand is still messed up……… thinking I have “old age itis”….. so I
hope I get it running soon!

I was also pondering / wishing I had a limber, flat rubber belt I could wrap
around the flywheel for a “pull cord”. Alas, I have nothing that fits
the bill, and doubt if it would work very well anyhoo.
Thanks,

Prepare to be boarded!
