RE: Engine problems
Since this engine has a one piece crankcase and cylinder, how did you determine it is leaking where the cylinder meets the crankcase? More likely the o-ring that is supposed to seal the carb has dried out, or the backplate is loose or leaking.

What gasket. Oh well I got tired off being grounded so I went ahead and bought a new and better engine, somtimes I like when things break becuse I can use it as an excuse to upgrade[8D]. But I will try to find that gasket (after the new engine comes in). Thanks for all the help.

RE: Engine problems
Hey turns out the new head did come with a gasket. I showed the engines to our club expert and he descovered that my glow starter's battery had run down. So both my engines are running now and my glow starter has a new battery. Thanks for all the advice.
