Replaced some bits, renovated some bits and refitted engine as it come out with fresh oil etc (was going to look at that next year).
After about the fourth kick she fired into live ticking over at about 2500RPM. Held the oil pump open to mae sure lots of oil getting through.
JOY O JOY and hell of a lot of smoke,- neighbours quickly shut the windows
Unfortnately joy was sort lived because whislt i set about the tickover there was a sort of noise, - the ones you dont want to hear and then the engine stopped
Now the engine wont turn over and even worse there is a hole, yes a hole in the casing just under the nearside carbrettor
The question is what do you do now?
Is the casing repairable?
Any idears what would of caused that any way.?
Had the left cylinder off today and the bore looks okay but some of the bottom of the piston looks to be missing
The piston still appears to be connected to the con rod. Posted this on RB and now looks like 1 got 3 options
1 - dont know wether to investigate myself (never been in a
gear box),
2 - possable some one might be able to give me assistance
3 - Take it somewhere to be repaired, any recommended places.
