Hey Gang,
OK, took the motor, had a spark, hooked to fuel line, primed....it would start and then run about 30seconds, then die, would not restart w/o priming bulb on fuel line again....when it ran, throttle response was good and crisp....
Thoughts? (I am thinking fuel pump)
ALSO:
The water sprays/blows out of the hole on the shaft, facing downwards almost like a water cooled exhaust....BUT....when I shut it down, the residual water oozing and running down the shaft is chocolate brown, like there is oil in the water....SO....the question....is the exhaust routed partially thru the water exhaust hole, or do I have a blown head gasket....or worse?
THX for any insight or experience (The manuals don't show this in great explanation)
