Hello,
A month has past, I have put the engine back together with new rings, I used the best cylinder I had out of the two, they both had bore wear with one having better valve guides.
It was uneconomical for me to get new guides, oversize cylinder rebore, piston & rings & I wasnt prepared to do it.
So the results:
Well it started easily and ran nicely but was smoking badly.
Because I live in the suburbs, I shut it down pretty quickly.
I decided to run it up at the property where there is no one to annoy.
The smoke was from oil in the muffler and poor tuning.
So I have given it a good run, it is smoke free & quite a quiet engine.
There is a bit of noise there. I cant pin point it.
I will fit this to my 2nd Cox ride on, its Briggs 12.5 quiet has issues, caused by me over working it.
I have been using the 1st engine from this thread, stil lgoing OK, just have to wear your ear plugs.
