Re: Workhourse Is Smoking
Okay Ruredy, Pizzaman, here's one for ya. I've gotten over the whole smoke thing for the time being. Yesterday I ran the cart for 30minutes or so. Started to do some yard work and when I got on my cart to load up some debris it doesn't seem to have any power, like it's running at only half it's strength. It was running fine half an hour earlier. I tried it this morning before work and no change. I'm stumped.

Re: Workhourse Is Smoking
Jon you're a genius! How you know what's wrong without being there is crazy. If you hadn't guessed, it was an oil fowled spark plug. But I am wondering what caused this? Does this go back to the same problem of the piston seals? And with that, I was thinking. When I worked on the piston, I put in a new piston head so honing it shouldn't have been an issue. But...when my buddy and I put the piston head head in, we didn't use a sleeve to get it in so I'm thinking it could be a seal that possibly broke, doubtful, but I wouldn't be %100 sure. And the other piston head never came out so I wouldn't think those seals moved out of there seated position. On the other hand, it's still smoking a little, and you've been right all the time so I must be getting oil into the piston head. Do you recommend replacing the seals and getting the piston heads honed? And how do I hone them?

Re: Workhourse Is Smoking
Creebo23, thanks for the props but genious... hardly... I've traveled this road before. The engine rebuild manual has answers to all these questions your asking,
http://products.jacobsen.com/img/manuals/27615-g01.pdf I can't make you read it but I can say the way your thinking about it, and the proper way of doing it, differ somewhat. It would seem that you've missed some key steps in fixing your engine and that's why it's burning oil. It's your discretion as for fixing your engine or just living with it till it finally dies. Just remember to keep an eye on the oil, if you run it low and it blows a rod again, you might not be lucky enough to have something left to rebuild. |

Re: Workhourse Is Smoking
Yea ruredy. So looking at the manual, I didn't go so in depth when I had the engine apart. Basically when we originally replaced the broken piston, piston rings, and piston rod. I wasn't aware that the wiper ring and compression ring were different so I'm betting that they aren't in the correct order. I know that the oil ring is though. And I never honed the inside of the cylinder, we talked about this before. When we did talk about it, I thought you were talking about the piston head itself, which I was confused about, boy was I wrong. If I had this manual from the get go I could have avoided alot of my troubles. Baptism by fire I guess.
