Now that I put a pred on my warrior I can start helping my son to get his up and going. He has 2 engines to pull parts from so hopefully he can get one to work.
The first engine came off of my bike. I bought a new carb for it, and when you give it some gas it hesitates and then revs up, but it is not responsive. I tried a second new carb and it behaved the same way. I'm thinking that the old gasket may not have been totally removed and could be causing a vacuum leak. Second thought was that possibly the governor spring was worn/rusted.
Second engine revs fine, but pours white smoke from the exhaust as soon as it starts. No weird sounds and compression seems fine, just a whack of white smoke. I'm hoping it just needs new rings, but I've never split a case open on an engine, or done a ring job. Looks like it may be the next step for this engine.
Any thoughts, tips, or leads would be appreciated. :shrug:
