OK, so i have spent maybe 12 hours in the past two days ripping her apart... losing my mind... i took off the head gasket, cleaned it up real nice and re-installed it... same with the carb and the exhaust.... so i can confirm i have absolutely no leaks... (no oil leaking anywhere). i took off the magneto and gave it a little buff with some sandpaper to give it a decent connection, i also checked for spark on the plug (while not looking powerful at all, it does appear to be firing) i took out the plug and ran it for idk like ten minutes with my drill turning the crankshaft (or whatever its called) to ensure it wasnt flooded, replaced the plug and still ive got nothing... cleaned the air filter... nothing.... i noticed that the spark plug appears to be a little short, and is not sparking like it did when i first replaced it a few days ago... still sparking but not as strong... considering replacing CDI and magneto assembly... also considering buying a whole new motor and using this one for parts...
Please advise
