well it was like spin spin spin poof! when it was inverted it blew out through the carb like a whale. now i dont know much about 4 st. but im about a frogs hair away from pulling it and putting my 40 fx on it again! the 4 stroke is on a clipped wing cubby. i wanted the .40 for a combat corsair! talk about a fast ride!!! [8D] the four stroke seemed almost tight.?!? my starter went hasta la bye-bye so i took the cone and attatched it to a drill to attempt to run it on the cubby but no dice. its an old engine and dirty it is, but i know it runs darnit! [:@] if i pull it apart what are the chances i can re-use the old seals on it? i.e. head gaskets etc?? or is it a hobby no-no?
