Here’s a short video of the sloppy poppet valve guide.
I put a better spring in it from an Elto Ace. The poppet valve
still opens about 1/16″ inch when rocking the flywheel, so
thinking the new spring tension is okay?
Am I wasting my time trying to start it with the poppet valve
guide that bad?
After I got the carb back together, I tried starting it again.
On time it fired about 6 times in forward rotation. I was
so surprised, I forgot to advance the timing.
A few tries later it fired about three times forward, I advanced
the timing, and it died anyway. It was all downhill from there.
I’m never sure if it’s getting too much or not enough gas half the time,
but played around with more and less fuel, but both hands hurt now,
so it’s was time to quit for the day!
Prepare to be boarded!
