dont take long before you no go any more..!what are the long term effects of an air leak?
^^^^^^ thats me! awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!. i think its about time for a rebuild.. ...dont take long before you no go any more..!
that is if we are talking about the engine and not the tire.....!
if it's the tire you will be pushing it before long...
An air leak will cause your engine to run very lean on fuel in comparison to the amount of air the engine is getting which will make the internals get very hot and in a short matter of time the engine will be trashed and need a rebuild if it is even rebuildable after it quits.
So as you can see it's a very bad thing to run with an air leak.
low power, rattling noise coming from the cylinder /head when revved. runs very very hot. after a few minutes of running it bogs down. the spark plug looks light brown.When you say on its way out what do you mean?
Example: low compression or no power or knocking noise or very hard to start.........?
How exactly is the engine running?
What makes you think it's on it's way out?
Need a little more info. so I can direct you in the most practical way to move forward on this issue.
No problem, we all need a little help some time, and these little engine as simple as they are can still pose problems for us all some time.i really appreciate this. just for my knowledge what happens to the top end..? does it warp, do the rings blow out? what happens. should i look for something in particular? thanks for your help brother.
will do. however, my clutch never made this noise before and even with the clutch housing plate off and my ear to the case it doesnt seem to be coming from there. but im not buying anything till i get it together with the new carb on.Before breaking down the engine, I would check to make sure that you aren't just running too lean. At one point I was running my engine with too small of a jet and it would bog down/ get too hot. A light brown color plug indicates a lean condition. All of these engines make rattling noises. Mine rattles a TON when revved but this is in fact coming from the clutch.
If you order all of these parts and end up not needing a rebuild, then it will be a waste. I would make sure to correct your fuel to air mixture first before breaking down the engine.
