What's on your bench?

[tickbitintn]

My experience with my 5100s is that, unless I've ran it dry to store it, 1 pull on choke is it. Any more and you'll flood it, even if you don't hear the pop. Sometimes it even sputters and starts on the first cold pull.

Thanks for the info, I'll try that next time when it's back together. Muffler needs to be "de-kittied" first.

That muffler weighs more than a brick. I hate "child proof" mufflers. Pain in the arse to break into

Yeah I looked at it and got discouraged...
Don't have the means to weld, much less stainless... [emoji3525]

They suck, but if you heat it up with a propane torch you can pry it open with an assortment of screwdrivers and side cutters.

They do work well, they work well on the Asian tanks as well.

Yep there still intact someone put a new piston and rings and wrist pin barring in it and I'm guessing they didn't flush the case so now I'm the one gets to fix someone else's Bobo.

ive seen the little locking tabs on the air filter covers break off and get sucked in.

Probably not what yall want to hear but a gx390 out of a eu6500 for a head and freshening up while it is out. Then the outboard engines will get a little love. CJ

If they're anything like the 3000's, it's no easy task.

PREACH!!!

Have you ever fixed a starter in a 3000? What a treat.

Yessir, only worse, almost 3/8" of total side to side movement. Seat is shot also. Found out that running them on propane does this. CJ

Eh, I just pulled the entire engine/alternator out and am doing it on the bench. The unit is only 135 hours or so and I am keeping it for myself so I am going completely through it and cleaning everything. I found out running them on propane kills the exhaust valve guide and seat. Not going to be a problem for me as I run them on gas. CJ

Well I did it in the wrong order LOL.
Un-crimped it then used the torch to burn off all the carbon build up.

Not sure what to do now....

Yes understood on cat removal. The plumbing on these is not like the average bear though.

I went back and looked at pics closer, I see now that there are several! At first glance it looks like a bunch of dents from the same object. Was there anything, or more of them, in the muffler?

No muffler is empty my guess is that someone did a quick rebuild and didn't flush the case out or they didn't like there job and tost them down the carb luckily bottom end is fine all the damage is the piston and the cylinder.
