Yes, just the rate has raised over the years.

Put both bearings on crankshaft, if they are warmed enough they will fall on and tighten up in place. Warm clutch side of case drop crank bearing in until it bottoms. Warm flywheel side, it will automatically line up correctly when both case halves come together.

Use the seal holder.
The last one I did was plastic. So I just made some shims to drop the bearing on to locate it.

Thanks fellas.

Mi-T-M pressure washer came in for a no start, pulled the float bowl and it was full of water. This is what's left of what I drained out of the tank after the gas evaporates away.

Its poor man’s methanol injection; help keep the cylinder cool. If it don’t run, the cylinder stays nice and cool

Some early tractors that burned kerosene injected a mist of water in to the cylinder to prevent knock. Some even used water from the coolant reservoir

I know that “coolant” injection is a thing (as well as oil cooled piston jets/misters), I was being facetious as its a small pressure washer. There is a guy near me with a Gravely lawnmower that has a turbo setup with methanol and propane

Does it have a blow off valve? Cuz that would be sweet.

Look for a brass plug in the side with a screw slot in it. That's it. It can be blocked off if so desired. At the time Still felt it would not last if too much rpm was obtained.

Turns out I have the Tilly 138B carb, same size venturi as the 208B (which is the governed carb). Just stripped it down and slapped a carb kit in it and adjusted the needle. We’ll see if that helps.

Oh yeah! In conjunction with an electronic ignition conversion and it will keep right up with the newer plastic saws.

What is the electronic ignition conversion? A SEM unit?

Take a look at the thread I did on it.

That is an awesome thread! Great info for those who understand basic electrical theory.

More details or a link to that “plug and play” module?
