Have taken off 270 with tav and put on 212 cc engine .
Have it all set but all of a sudden the engine has too much compression to pull with starter rope.
I did not have time to check it out..so asking if n e 1 out there has an idea what this is??

Thank you

Leaking carburetor has flooded the cylinder with gasoline?

Pull out the spark plug and if the recoil starter operates, pull it vigorously several times to dispel the fuel.

If this is the case, make sure the plug wire is where it won't spark in anything. I nearly blew my face off doing this once. Fortunately the security camera caught it and I was able to get video.

I don't care if you're 6 or 60, anyone using shopping carts for frames most likely stole them!!!

Care to explain how those transactions went , and what you paid for those "carts"?

BTW..I was born in 1956, (if you paid attention in school, you outta be able to figure that out.)

That happens pretty often...( not getting clocked by cops....) but those pushrods running away from home.
