I got bored

[deacon]

So I combined two of the weed eater engines. I took the jug from the one that ran good before I banged on it with a hammer, (Dont ask) then I stuck the ring from the piston onto the piston from the one that would not drag start. I made a cardboard gasket, (I know stupid) to got between the crank and the jug.

Put the pull start back on put a little gas down the throat and ran it. It has a knock. I'm not sure if it had a knock before and it's just normal or if I have done something to it. I have one more engine I haven't distroyed yet. I guess I'll go crank on it to see if it sounds the same.

I know i need a tail gasket, a real one.

I think what sounds like a knock might just be the compression sound. It not as pronounced in the older engine but it has the same rythem.

Which engine did you get from me? I am interested to know if you got it to ren and how well it runs.

Your was the one that would line start and run out. If I put a load on it, it would not start. Your piston was coated with carbon and the jug was scared a bit. I cleaned the piston not sure if that was a good idea, Put the ring from the newer engine on it and the cylinder as well. I poured a little gas in it last night and it runs. I need to hook up a gas tank and try it again to see if it will continue to run.

I'm not in a giant hurry to see if I have screwed it up beyond hope lol. Just messin around cause I was bored.

Help>>>

Okay there is gas pouring out of the carb. Naturally it won't start again but I have had it running before that happened.

Can the engine be run without the two line gas flow. In other words can I just use a gravity feed to that carb... Why is gas running through the carb? It is a diaphram carb i'm sure. does it mean the diaphram is gone? Do I have the wrong line hooked up or is it just not going to work and I have to go back to the old two line with a bulb fuel system.

your needle in the carb is stuck or has crap holding it open the diaphragm might be holed out. these pumper carbs have a needle/seat just like the float carbs.

I'll see what I can find tomorrow. Tell me can you convert these things to gravity feed and get rid of the two line gas tank thingie,
