I'm ready to crank the engine over for the first time in 30 yrs. (Lots of stories like this.) We've invited the neighborhood. I've changed the fuel lines, filter, cleaned pump, oil drain, tank, new sending unit, screen, topped off cylinders with MMO, cleaned plugs, etc. I'd like to turn the engine by hand, but don't know where to begin.
Any help, as I am alone and have no reference, alliance, resources or sanity. Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) |

Chip,
I started a garage find last year after 40 years of storage. STRONGLY recommend miracle oil in each cylinder and cranking the beast without Fuel or Plugs for 30-40 seconds and then stop. Wait 5 minutes and then again. Perhaps 10+ cycles of this. Get the oil pressure UP make it squeeze to the outer reaches This will not guarantee a healthy engine, but should protect the engine somewhat. Did I mention you should put some miracle oil in each cylinder........really,,,,,,do this....... GOOD LUCK WITH THE TEENER!

Tried to crank it today, but I don't think there is petrol getting to the engine. Fuel pump did not buzz upon turning key. The starter seemed ok, but no turnover. Need to check power to FP terminals, then see if pump is bad. I cleaned it out and hooked it up to a battery and it seemed ok. Can you provide a checklist for fuel, spark, etc? Thanks and thank you. ! QUOTE(Chip @ Mar 19 2019, 10:38 AM) I'm ready to crank the engine over for the first time in 30 yrs. (Lots of stories like this.) We've invited the neighborhood.
