That makes a good point. If it requires new rings then I can do it as long as I can get the parts. I’ll be bolting it back together tonight and see what happens afterwards.
The reeds did have surface rust surrounding the contact points where it seats. The newer reeds are from the donor motor and where near perfect. A little steel wool made it just right.
I took a peak at the needle bearings for the crank and they look fine from what I can see.
Before I tore the motor down, I did have the psi at 85-86 from 80ish after putting a little oil in cylinder. It kept acting like it wanted to fire off but never did. After replacing reeds, maybe I’ll get what I need to have it fire. We shall see.
