Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

[tbone75]

Agreed!!

Like the lazy Ol Phart said. Lol

Morning Sludge !

That motor I had that bent the push rods also snapped a rod off. I mowed with it like that for a good month ! LOL A lot slower,but it stihl ran ? LOL

if a push rod was bent and fell out it wouldn't be burning the gas on that side.Could let gas into the crankcase past the rings. I think ? LOL

Can't member what push rod kept bending on it ? Always the same one.

Guess it would depend on what valve wasn't opening to get gas into the crankcase .

How bad is it to pull the covers?

Could a valve be bad?

Not likely a valve.Covers are very easy,just be careful with the gasket,they break easy. 2 - 10mm nuts I think?

While it's running rich shut off the fuel supply and see if it smooths out.If it does check your needle and seat and see if it is sealing off. Check float height.
If you were losing a cylinder from push rod or spark you would lose a lot of top end power. I've had one with a bad needle seat that would fill the crankcase up.

Them covers act like there glued on,but there not. May have to tap them to get them loose.

Good point Scoot ! Said he stihl had power !

Should the impulse hose be connected to pump while doin this

You need to connect the vac to that impulse line to check if the diaphragm is defective.

Going to go look for that carb again ! Hope I didn't trash it when I scraped them 24 riders I had ! LOL

That is what we figured from the outset but he did not have the torx sockets to take it apart. The fuel pump can also leak down the impulse line into the engine so we thought that could be tested easily.

I will try it tomorrow

I can't believe how expensive "professional" movers are. I sure am glad I don't have to do it all though.

What motor does he have? I have a few twins here. 1 20hp Kohler twin that I scraped that has a good carb.
