What did you accomplish today?

[UncleBuck]

like, maybe there's a dead rodent in there?

 

[Singlemalt]

Muffler and environs for mud or other clumps. I'm serious here, if it sat a bit, mice make nests. Had shoulder surgery a few years ago, didn't drive my truck for about 1.5 months. When I started it, it was bogging bad, long story short, mice built a nest in the exhaust pipe, Unraveled a coat hanger and fished part of it out. Revved engine and blew rest out with some cooked micelings. Ran great

I cut up aluminum window screen and make caps for all the exhaust pipes I have

 

[UncleBuck]

Just checked in there and blew it out with my air compressor. Nyet.

 

[Singlemalt]

Spark plug?

 

[UncleBuck]

Sounds and feels regular until load. correct?

yep. although when i lift the tines into the air and let it out full throttle the engine tries to cut out and stall too.

 

[Singlemalt]

Can you test compression?

 

[UncleBuck]

Can you test compression?

not sure i have the tools to do that. doubt it's in the engine either. just bought it last year.

 

[Singlemalt]

Check online for the engine specs, a comp tester isn't that much ($10 for basic and on up for better ones). Also I assume you checked air intake for clogs, impediments

 

[UncleBuck]

i'm gonna take another crack at that bitch tomorrow. then i'll just take it to jesus.

What brand? If you have aluminum cylinders and or piston rings oil is crucial, they get worn/scoured easy

If not, help me convince her to get a puppy for the kid to grow up with.

Every kid needs a puppy.

Mine have always been around dogs. My youngest, a toddler, is thick as thieves with our boxer. Best friends.

A year old engine should run like a champ. You're positive you have good gas?

i was so unsure of it that i bought the ethanol free pre-mixed shit just in case my gas can had remnants of old gas in it seemed to help a little but still cuts out and bogs down at full throttle or under load.

 

[Singlemalt]

Jets maybe then, fuel adjustment is off
