(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) Yuppers... the 2.0 runs! after sittin for 7+ years it woke up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) I was tentative about turning the key. Got up my nerve and....
nothing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It turned & turned but not even a cough. Hmmmmm... Looked everything over, yup, it's all connected right. Do I have spark? NOPE! Had plenty of gas but no spark. Checked the 2 wires on the coil & sure enough, they were switched. Took the key in hand again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) It coughed! woo-Hoo! Turned it again & got a sputter EEeee ha. Kept up turning it over & each time it sputtered a little longer. After about 3 to 4 minutes of this it actually began running... rough but it was running. Just like waking up from a deep sleep, it was groggy. Black smoke was coming out, not heavy but deffinetly had color (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Once it began running I held it at 2K for 2 to 3 minutes and it kept getting smoother & smoother until I could take my foot off the gas & it idled at 1200 WOO HOO again. This engine really feels like it's got some power to it. Maybe not having the muffler on gave it that feeling (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) muffler goes on tomorrow alon with adjusting the clutch peddal and checking the timing. I just might make it to this Sundays AX after all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) A really big THANKYOU to Craig for this engine. I might be talking too soon but WTF, I'm elated that I took the old broken one out & put this 7 year sleeper in and it RUNS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) Let me hear a HALLELUJAH ........b (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |
