I'm so fuming right now- I checked everything outside the engine and it was all fine spark plug, magneto, carb, spent ages learning how to make one from scratch replaced everything new and now I finally realise (if you've been following the thread- "troubleshooting engine start fail") that the spark plug wasnt wet so not enough fuel was reaching the engine.
So I open up the damn engine- take the top off then slide the fins up and the piston looks like this :
the dents and scratches I am just clueless as to how it happened- it never started properly once and the fuel ratio was perfect the cylinder seemed to be mostly ok but there were still marks near the bottom and I can feel a few ridges.
This kind of stuff was precisely the reason I bought a new engine in the first place.
I have no idea what I did wrong this time but if this engine is unusable this has been such a waste of money and I'm ready to give up if that's the case
Could someone please confirm if the cylinder/piston is damaged?
