[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 46905, member: 751"] Pulled the motor out today.I checked the spark,not good.I pull the rope and it only fires the spark plug once or twice.It's a new spark plug.So I am taking the engine apart enough to get at the magneto.While I had the motor tilted up,thick green oil ran out of the carb and the fuel valve for the external fuel tank.So I need to replace the fuel valve and clean the carb.I'll have to rebuild the fuel pump also.I installed the plug and spun the engine over.It feels a little low on compression but not low enough to prevent running.It may have some form of compression release built into the carb base.I'm not as good with 2 strokes as I am with 4 strokes.My local NAPA and All Pro have parts for this engine.Both stores have been around since cars were invented.Really both stores are family owned and have been in biz for close to 50 years.I'll kepp posted on how things turn out.I'll try to get pics up also.
