Engine doesn't run

We’ll wait until you check for spark. I was actually thinking of a remote kill switch that was the “new” switch.

Is this end connected to anything? Low oil sensor? Remote kill switch?

Nope, just dangling alone, I don't have an oil sensor

Make sure you did not accidentally pinch any wires when you reassembled things. It’s been known to happen.

Alright so now I have to check for spark, I'll update y'all when I do it

Hey so it looks like I didn't check compression correctly ; I removed the side cover, removed the cam, then I spun it and I hear the piston doing a noise like a bike pump, I feel like the air is exiting. Looks like the piston is too small, any fixes to this without buying a new one? I bought way too many pistons (over 3 kits which ended up being a scam)

Are you describing the wrong way to check compression or what you think is the correct way?

I feel like the air is exiting. Looks like the piston is too small

Where's the photos? Got photos? This is crazy stuff, but we need some semblance of concrete evidence and stuff.

Um yeah never mind, another 30 dollars wasted hooray! My dumbass didn't even bother measuring the piston bore, I thought it was 68mm since the engine was a Chinese clone, but NO, apparently it's a 170f which is 70mm just like a predator 212cc. I'm so done with this

 

[kart_goes_brrr]

So for now I have to use the old piston until I get a new one. Sorry for wasting your time guys.

You're such a goofball, kart_brrr, but we like you!

You're such a goofball, kart_brrr, but we like you!

Thank you! And yes I just realised in fact that I'm a goofball after the discovery of no compression. Thanks for the help anyways!

 

[bob58o]

That’s a new one. Would have never crossed my mind. Still no clue what you doing when checking compression. Just pull the spark plug, cover the hole with your thumb, and pull the cord.if you feel pressure trying to push your thumb…

wait I just realized my wallet is empty , I can't find no quick jobs either, i don't think this is the right place to ask, but how can I earn money

Does the push mower work and can you stand heat? 5 lawns at $20 a lean gets you a new 212… 5 lawns after that gets you a flywheel.

I weed-whack the neighbors ditch for $20 each time I do it. In the long run the neighbor paid $120 for an arc flywheel.

I already tried and they all lowballed me saying to mow the lawn for 3-5 bucks max. I was like "you cannot be serious", all the neighbors did the same thing

Get a job? McClownies, KFP, Booger King?

Booger king well I don't think I can since I'm a teenager

You're a teenager all the way up til you're 19 so....
