Hotrod, That was the key bit of information I needed to get past my roadblock. Thank you very much. I got the powerhead off, the recoil fixed and got it back together. The last guy wound the spring backwards… 😮 🙄
That is a very odd setup with the starter between the powerhead and the midsection. Not too sure what they were thinking when they came up with that one. Anyway, that’s working now. Next it seems I have a carburetor problem to deal with. I got it to pop but not run yet. It is leaking quite a bit.
It has 100psi compression and plenty of spark, so fuel seems to be what’s missing. At least at the proper ratio to air. I’m getting there now anyway. I’m not an expert at these Tillotson carbs yet.
