Because the flywheel was painted it was so slippery that it was almost impossible to spin the engine over. I know I am getting old so I had a younger strapping fellow try his luck at spinning it over and he was able to do it after a few tries. We decided it just wouldn't do so I sand blasted the paint off, cut a deep knurl on the outer rim and sprayed the bare metal with a clear finish.
That solved that problem and Robert that got rid of the gold paint.
Next problem was the carburetor was moving when you adjusted the throttle. I made a bracket to hold the end of the carb in place so that problem is solved.
I had a bad oil leak issue when I first ran the engine. So I installed a breather in the block and that took care of that.
A couple of Videos.
The engine starts easily but the throttle needs some work and I think the carb may just be too big for the engine.
I need to get a shorter fan belt/o-ring as it is dancing around some.
I will make some kind of wood base and maybe something for it too run.
