Default RE: Mag. 52 4 stroke won't run where to look

Update. After doing the valve work it would draw fuel. I started the engine and it ran a few seconds then quit. It would no longer draw fuel.

There is very little compression and I suspect the cylinder liner is worn out. I have ordered new piston/ring/liner for replacement. They won't be available

for about 3 weeks. I am considering replacing the engine. The cost of replacement parts is about 45% cost of new engine.

This engine only has about 10 yrs of heavy run time on it.
