ok. so ive been working on my rupp engine for almost a year now, keeping everything original and my hopes up.
as of now my Tecumseh h35 has all the parts that it needs to run, but i lack the tools to put the rod and rings in.
so i called local shops (10 of them) AND.. 8 of them said they dont do that. 1 said that they dont want to bother because Tecumseh has bad rep. and the last said it would take 2 hours a $150.95 to put rings and a rod into this little engine.
1. is this really a two hour job?
2. im afraid that after all this time and money my engine is gonna crap out on me. so for those of you that own h35's, how good are they? do they last long? do they run well?
3. i was thinking about putting it up on here (OldMiniBikes) for sale or trade for a honda, because hondas last long and have some pretty cool features.
so what should i do?
