P.S. you could take the stuff out of the one you have and put it all in the other one.
I knew we missed something....find the "new" gas leak yet?
The head is full of gas again.
Did you replace the float needle seat O ring? and or the needle and seat?
Of course not ...
:
Should I put a small amount of oil in the cylinder and crank it over with no plug to mitigate washed cylinder walls?
Yes and change the oil.... No lube at the crank/rod bearing is your biggest issue
It was a fresh change with zero run time. I changed when I first discovered the cylinder head was flooded and had been for several days.
So after Doug left yesterday, I ran it for about 10 minutes to get a little heat in it and changed oil and the filter.
1/2 hour later, I saw it was dribbling fuel out the air box.
I hadn't even installed either drain plugs nor the oil line/screen.
There was no indication of gas in the oil drain pan.
First thing I checked.
Still change it? Better safe than sorry, I guess.
And no hammer required!
