on my bench today was the neigbors ryobi bp42 leaf blower. he said he put a new carburetor on it and it wouldnt run. gas was leaking all over the place. i replaced all the usual lines and such. i found the carb screws turned all the way in. she runs like a champ now.

I guess they thought they needed to be tightened down because they were installing a new carb?!!???
Only line of reasoning that’s makes sense m…

Helpful neighbor attempting his own repair: "Oh...I found another loose screw, I better tighten them all down or this might leak.....hmm, now it doesn't run...."

Needs a good cleaning and inspection. We will have to make a few gaskets on the way back together since some were torn during disassembly. I would like to hear it run but I don't think I will go out and buy a boat...the fuel tank is rather rusty inside so this may be another "runs on prime" sort of display piece.

2.125" bore x 1.5" stroke makes this one 87cc, I think the block started life as one of the Super Series engine designs but has some modifications for this outboard application. It uses the same thin piston rings as many of the saws (48691).

All cleaned up and going back together...we had to make a couple of gaskets for the pieces that connect the engine to the shaft housing and that slowed things down. I have a bit more cleaning to do on some of the exterior pieces to try and remove some stains but I do believe it will look pretty good in the display, assuming I can find a space for it.

so yesterday morning before i took it back, i wanted to start it and its a no go and flooded a rediculous amount of gas. so took the carb back off and repressure tested and it would not hold. wtf i took the needle out and blew carb cleaner through the port and made sure there wasnt anythjng on the needle. no bueno it will not hold pressure. i am a little confused as to why it held the day before and ran good. i gave up and ordered another one.

A small collection that I'm going to go over, inspect, clean, shine up, then we'll see if any remain or if they get dumped on the market.

Not in the picture,
Come to think of it, I have two 254SGs too, and two 42 Specials that need to be polished up.
And, two tree of 44/444s.

Next is to shine up 133, 238 242, 246, 346, they're all to keep.
