If it's now addicted to easy start for that first cough on a cold morning, the rings are likely as worn as prolapsed porn starHi All,
Thanks for all your reply's. I'v done an oil and filter change with a 30 grade oil and also made sure the air filter is clean and breathing freely and given it some hard running to hopefully allow rings to free up from any carbon. So that didn't work fully but did help. The amount of oil breathing has reduced and does stop when it gets warm. However when engine is cold blows out about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of oil. still really hard to start without some start ya barsteward.
I'm thinking its time to pull it down and rebuild pistons and maybe bores. Is this correct or is there something else you recommend? Is there a way to "dam" up the breather some more to allow oil to feed back in whilst warming up? Once tractor is warm it runs like a dream. I suspect that it has had the help from a can to start for some time but it dosen't have that rugged Ether knock that they get yet so hopefully not to much damage has been done
Have you seen this engine starting really nice or just taking someone's word for it??So to update as its been a while. The engine is buggered. The compression test relieved that it will need a complete rebuild, new liners the lot. Added to that the valve train is shot, the wear in this assembly is huge. I have had a stroke of luck and been given a whole complete engine with good compression and starts really nice. So i decided to swap out the engine and put the current in the corner as parts or maybe rebuild the bottom end one day
hahaha yea iv seen it going. its an old friend oneHave you seen this engine starting really nice or just taking someone's word for it??
