Tips on starting

1. 1/4 “ nylon pull rope is rated @ 1486 lbs. per ft. yet you have snapped it 4+ times
In b4 bad rope….so you built an expensive hot rod motor and used a 20 yr old cord ?
2. The valves seats were leaky..How did you determine that? If you can diagnose that from listening to a motor
This problem should be a breeze.
3. More advance in timing 34 deg. creates higher cylinder pressures to begin with, this combined with 12:1 compression and you weren’t using high octane fuel already? Any mechanic knows this
4. No mention of a flywheel issue or that it’s been checked.
5. Been building motors for years, can’t fix the simplest motors on the planet
6. Once running you say it does fine. Low octane fuel, high compression and 34 deg total timing you should be able to hear that wrist pin ring for blocks.
7. Not one picture

Allright it's back together, pulled cover and cam came out with it. Came apart about 1/8 " then had to tap on it to come apart the rest of the way.Honestly didn't see anything wrong w spring or cr it's a dyno308. Put it back together and it's fixed. Idk if it was stuck or what but issue not happening now.
The bottom end with rope was all new. Read above looking at head off with flashlight I noticed light passing through closed valves. The tank had 87 in it when I swapped the head motor seemed fine so I left it. Yes Rope broke few times and broke 2 new d handles off my kids trailmasters.Im in mo close to Mississippi River don't believe me send me your address I'll bring them and show ya.
