RE: Echo BME twin
Trouble in Paradise.
With about an hour on my twin I went back to the shop because I just didn't like the way it was running.
The last time I ran it and after it was warm it didn't want to throttle up.
I figured it was breaking in and needed a Carb. adjustment or something.
It was pretty warm the last time I ran it, but not over heated.
I noticed air in the line so I turned the prop over by hand.
Well it felt like it was binding up. Not under compression but in mid stroke.
So I took it apart and found the crank was bent.
When the guy welded it he welded it on the end of the counter balances, not as shown
in the welded crank pictures I posted earlier.
I didn't fit my crank my self so I can't say for sure how good of a fit it was but Jack is a perfectionist.
Any ideas?
One thing about parts are pretty cheap "FREE" so I'll just be out the labor.
