Iffit rattles like a tin of marbles it will help it sound orfentic.Would you believe it ??
Trying to set tappets on my little landy Kohlar engine only to find that they are hydraulic lifters
I'll have to flush the engine and put fresh oil in to see if that solves the noisey tappet problem, it's been stood quite a while so maybe it'll get better with running.
I had the opposite on a 2stroke. Idled but stalled when you tried to rev...Took the carb off, had no carb cleaner but did perform the aforementioned butchery to enable me to alter the tickover:
Backed off the throttle and ....... no....... it still wouldn't idle.
So turned the idle screw up.
No better AND it had flooded so I had to "de-flood" it before it would start again.
Again ran like mad on full throttle, but again..... no tickover.
So wound the tickoever jet a bit to the right to lean it.....
Still wouldn't restart until I de-flooded it.
And still no tickover.
So not a happy chappy.
Took the exhaust off to look at the spark arrester. Which is basically just a load or wire wool inside it.
I bought a brand new ((old stock) briggs and stratton engine cheap
It ran perfect, I parked it for the winter and come spring it would rev but wouldn't tick over
Tried everything, eventually bough cheap carb off internet and it's run perfect ever since
Ran it out of fuel on last switch off so carb was empty and it was stripped and cleaned
I leave the fuel in my lawn mower over winter and it starts no problem every spring
Don't know what the problems are, maybe insects crawling in for the winter because it was stored outside
