Yes 14.2. I’m on a back dirt road so there is dust but this machine has never seen a trail ride. Most rides are between 5 and 15 miles at a time. This thing only gets ran on back roads though. No mud bogs. I basically bought it for a business write off and to plow my driveway. I wiped down the intake hoses off the black box and not much came out of it. The lid however had about 20 grains of sand in it when I took the lid off.
Yep. Plug is wet on that non firing cylinder when I pull it out. That’s why that plug look clean from it being washed with gas and no spark. Even though that coil pack sparks it great grounded out on the outside of the motor for me to see.
That is actually the technical way to check compression on an old Briggs & Stratton engine.
Ok. I will start it back up and rev it for a few min and let it run for 10-15 min and see if it comes back. I was worried that trying it so many times that’s the in brunt fuel would strip that cylinder wall of all oil and cause friction issues. I would have to imagine at this point the oil pan has a mixture of gas and oil by now. Trying to start it and run for probably a total of 20 mins over a dozen times
That could be from cleaning the spark arrestor and exhaust pipe though. Carbon tinting it. This is fresh gas within the month and it’s recreation fuel too. I think I will drain the whole system again tomorrow and put in gas I just got today and try that but I really don’t think its it because the other cylinder wouldn’t be firing on it either. It’s definitely not varnish.
It couldn't hurt, and check that spark arrrest.
I will check it tomorrow. I’ll throttle it up and see if it comes in after I do that. I did throttle it up for probably 1-2 min the day I jumped it but that was also with the original fuel in it. Not with this fresh fuel and the heet in it.
Yea I’m going to check it too but I’m sure it’s clean. It’s laying all over that box that I put under the exhaust to catch the liquid spraying out. Plus I would think that would cause back pressure issue and it wouldn’t idle or run.
Im Gonna look at that too but with the fuel being pumped in and the coil sparking I don’t know what else it could be electrical
Slow down, you have a professional Honda Tec helping you. Im just a plumber most of the mistakes I've made in a diagnosis was listening to the customers diagnosis, set back relax and let him run down his check list.
What? I’m listening. I’ve already said I know enough to be dangerous. I’m just pointing out the obvious stuff. Im a farmer that can fix carburetors and such not fuel injected toys.
