Rikki got a bad tank of gas last year and thought he lost an apex seal for a while because he couldn't keep it running.Before he compression tested it anyway.

Super super super flooded.......... I must have beat the starter to hell cleaning out the engine and it seems that i'm not getting anywhere. I got close once. It kicked over for a second after th good session of unflooding ,but it just flooded back up again.

Any advice?

Check to make sure your timing is right. Maybe the CAS is off a tooth.

I've heard of guys having to pull start 'em to get a new rebuilt running.

The dam coils wires were shorting to the lead plugs. So the trail were firing only.

I taped up the exposed wires and she started with only a little fight

Thanks eveyone for your input
