Fifty2One, Thanks for the photos and data.
I can’t tell from your photo how that clip
is holding the handle in place. Perhaps you
can describe?
The one photo appears to show a grease cup
under the magneto. Mine does not have that.
I found out why mine has no compression.
The piston rings are AWOL. 😮
To compound the problem, the piston is .020
oversize. I have not researched replacements yet.
The piston is for a 2.020 bore, and the ring width
needs to be 1/8".
The crank bushings are a tad loose, but
they have bronze bushing inserts, 3/4" ID
x .875 OD x 1-1/2" long, so I probably
could replace them.
The crankshaft was fitted with some shim stock
to tighten the flywheel on the taper.
Any "fix" for this, other than a different flywheel?
Is that spacer between the flywheel and rope pulley
original?
