Took it apart...pretty simple and basic 2 stroke concept...

No scoring or groove wear.

But it was wet around 1 way that gasket and silicone was flakey and wet brittle too


Now on the crankshaft there is a groove towards flywheel is there supposed to be a o ring There?

Carb o rings look bad as well

So I think I had some major air leaks and running pig rich was the only way to get it running

I might be wrong but it's worth a try to reseal it and try again


Also the bottom screw under Hsn how do I reset it?

And could this carb be suspect as well
