Starfire Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Take the spark plug out and fill the bore with diesel. Let it soak for a few days and it should free up. Drain and refill the fluids and you should be in action. Cheers, Terry Quote

Tony B Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 IMPORTANT : Be carful hadeling the electrical charger sid eof these the rectifier is Boron and dust can have nasty effects. They are very easy to work on engine wise. I'd use a mix of oil and disiel , heat gently till the you see rainbow colours starting on the surface and pour straight in the bore, then leave for a while. Quote
gritineye Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Often a valve can stick open on these after a while without running, just take the head off, penetrating oil to valve stem and tap it down with a rubber hammer or block of wood, turn the engine over and repeat till free... Quote
REME 245 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 The flexi exhausts and watering can rose type silencers are like rocking horse poo so you will need to make your own. Quote
