Echo 2 Stroke Compression
Comments (27)Since this Zama carb has NO primer bulb, I feel that old, swollen check valves in the MAIN NOZZLE and the IDLE circuit, may have been the contributing factor to the flooding; but Zama states it's flooding causes in regards to carbs with primer base assemblies on them. Even with lowered metering lever and new diaphragm and the mylar fuel pump (butyl rubber one pumps more)...flooding did occur. A test on the needle valve showed for the most part it was closing and opening properly (even though it was a USED needle valve). I probably should have got the RB kit, not the G & D kit. I will post one final time on this machine once the NEW carb is installed....See Morebriggs & stratton won't start too much compression
Comments (52)for most people its valve adjust but for a select few its the engine design itself. the piston gets lubed by the engine splashing oil. if you dont change the oil yearly and are not using the correct weight oil, the top side of the piston and occasionally the head also will create tollerances so tight even the compression release wont be enough for the starter to push thru. usually i sugesst pulling the engine apart and cleaning the piston, valves, rings, and valve head. get then super clean abd put it back together. keep up on the maintence and it should run fine. also check the seloniod, they do go bad and it takes all that CCA to get these engines spinning...See Morekohler twin 17, no compression in 1 side
Comments (4)If it is a 17 hp it is likely the KT. The early versions were known for chucking rods, the crank journal fillets were not properly ground. The later ones did well but look for a stuck valve or leaking head gasket. If it is cheap enough and you are into tearing down motors it would be worth a look....See MoreManual compression release to replace failed B&S Camshaft C.R.?
Comments (21)Hello...........I just ran across this statement. I realize the statement is 4 years old............but I'm hoping "dsbird" or someone else might have an answer to my question. I too, have a problem with my Intek not wanting to make it past "compression," and I was looking for a "work around" when I ran across this. "dsbird" states that "I torqued it up a bit tighter to avoid gasket blow-out," and I was wondering if someone might advise me as to how much "tighter" to go as I try this "double head gasket" manuver to see if it will work for me as well ? Thank you : )...See Morepump_toad
