A friend gave me this thing and dared me to get it running. Game on. I removed 4.5 lbs of dirt dobber nests and gave it a good hosing off. To my surprise it had great spark and hit a few times on ether. (Yes I know better that to use that stuff)
I did a compresion check and it had 110 lbs on #1 and 95 lbs on 2. That seems low but i'm not sure what it's supposed to be. That's question 1.
The next obvious problem is that the tiller handle is scraping on the bracket so much that I can't turn the motor w/o tilting it up. There is no unusual play in the bracket/swivel assembly. I can see no reason for it to be doing this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
