    Sounds like maybe the timing is out now, are the plug leads on correct plugs ( assuming not waisted spark ....how many ht coils does it have ), or cut flywheel key. I feel for you dude ,maybe you have more than one fault to deal with . 🙂

    Scientist claim to have brought back Dire wolf

    Call me cynical but I think that those involved in such activity are far more interested in notoriety and fame than the actual un-extincting any animal ,and have little or no regard for the unknown impact this may have on nature. The money spent on such folly would be better invested in...

    I can remember being flat broke about age 18 ,power cut off ,late on rent and all I had to eat was a 2 gallon jar of my Mothers home pickled onions . They were ok for a couple of days but ½ way thru the 2nd week the neighbours cat was looking pretty tasty .

    Usually when I measure piston clearance its with new parts ( checking the clearance after a re bore ) anI usually just put a feeler gauge in the bore and if the piston still fits it has that much clearance . A bit rudimentary but it gives you a good indication .

My fave is inch thick home baked bread (breadmaker ) and cold roast pork shoulder (cooked on BBQ ),lettuce ,tomato ,red onion (raw)and mayo. The vegies go between the pork and the...

    Looks like you sure have been diligent. Unless the pistons are pretty rooted I dont think new ones will make much difference. Im thinkin piston to bore clearance when new would be around 1.5 -2 thou and a wear limit of 3.5 -4 thou ( educated guess based on similar sized 2 stroke engines I am...

    Yeah whatever you do dont go drilling holes in the piston ! Where the hell did that come from ?🤯 Ultrasonic cleaners are not the magic bullet some peeps think they are for carbs . You will have to start poking thru small galleries and orifices to be sure they are clean . I use a nylon bristle...

    Yeah , 75 psi is about 10 less than I would call a minimum. Did you have the throttle open when testing compression? I dont spose you noticed if there is a decompression port there . Usually either a hole drilled in the cylinder wall about 8-10mm above the ex port to a point in the roof of the...

    Yes , here too its cheap compared to beef or lamb . There has been a bit of controversy as to the origin of pork in NZ supermarkets . Stuff must have the country of origin on the label, so what we have now is pork labeled as "NZ grown " ( maybe mentions either free range or grass fed bla bla...

    You did say in your original post that comp for those engines was normal at 75 psi ....which is what you have . A re-ring and hone dont make a new motor but it should make it shine a bit . How did the engine go on your break in run ? If it goes well , power is ok , idles .......call it a good...
