I am kinda baffled about what happened.
I have a honda gxh 50 on a friction drive and this is my second year and it has been great.
It probably has about 100 hrs. on it.
It has always started on the first pull when cold with choke.
Yesterday morning I pulled it 4 times and nothing.
The previous day it was running great.
I found it was getting gas and spark.
I pulled the spark plug and put my finger over the hole and felt no compression.
I poured a little oil into the cylinder and the compression got better.
I put the plug back in and it started right up.
Now it is starting again on the first pull like before.
I have been running on synthetic oil.
Were my rings carboned up and stuck?
Should I put something in the motor to clean it out?
Thank You Fred
