My Ebay Engine, $30 Ryobi 31cc
Bought this off Ebay for $30, paid $10 shipping. Came with motor mount, Walbro WT-536 carb (looks new) and new spark plug.
The engine doesn't feel to have as much compression as the Homelite 25cc I'm converting at the moment. Removed carb and
rear case cover, found there wasn't a gasket. Where do you get gaskets for Ryobi online?
I took the jug off. The piston and sleeve have no scores. The ring looks good but it's hard to tell by looking how much it might
be worn. It is fairly clean inside too.
Also noticed there is no gasket between muffler and jug. Looks like red silicone rubber.
Does the carb really need the choke plate? It's not a choke butterfly but a plate that slides over the intake of the carb.
Haven't had time to do much else yet.
