Problem with my TS 5b engine
 

hello everyone been a long time since i needed help but here i am again , i take out my 5b today its was all going sweet untill the engine decided to go full throttle all on its own , i took it home thinking it was the clutch mount bolts snapping so i removed it all and its all good so it cant be that , checked the reeds cos its a TS induction engine and thats all good the carb seems to be functioning ok the carb flap is closed when the engine is started. but when it does start sounds like a buzzing vibration in the cylinder , and when i slowly pull the cord the head feels like it wants to shake but the bolts are tight doesnt look like the cylinder is cracked , im guessing now maybe the crank conrod or something has snapped inside ? but could a snapped conrod or something broken inside cause the engine to open throttle on its own the carb flap is closed when this happens , or could it be the carb 813 has died maybe causing this ? i dunno this is a strange thing to ever have happen to me first time.

took me friggen ages to get the snapped bolt out with vise grips , ill start it up today and see if it works , i chucked in a new ring while i was at it , and put in the new metal gasket that DDM is making now along with the new metal exhaust gasket ddm makes too lol the metal ddm cylinder gasket is a pain in the because when trying to put it on it keeps getting magnetized to the flywheel

fixed , what you know it was that pesky broken bolt causing it to high rev on its own , ran it today and its all good
