Craftsman GT3000 "MUTT"

Better solution! Haha

What's about just swapping in one of your thousand Oppys? the one that runs good with the adjustable carb. Or another one. Or if you have some $ get a Vanguard Twin like mine

Swapping in another oppy would involve swapping in all the other little nuances i have on this oppy and that's just not happening

That anchor idea isnt bad, i could use it as a mace too

Tried new coil, no different result

Cleaning the carb again

waste my time

That sux...  

No difference with carb clean. Heads and intake are coming off.

Heads are off

Left


Right


Right and left


Left one has a few blowouts, right seems ok. All the head bolts seemed to be at a proper torque. I cleaned the carbon off of everything. I'm gonna order some head gaskets here directly and hopefully they'll get here soon lol.

Intake didn't show any problems either.

What’s the compression on this engine?

Last i knew it was about 90. These engines are set up with the compression release as part of the intake lobes so it always kinda reads there.

Thats a lot of carbon buildup compared to mine.  Hmm...

Eh, this isnt much more than i usually have them.

Can you turn the valves just by pressing your thumb on the valve and trying to turn it?

With them seated?

I went to switch the starter again but the one i was switching it with turned out to be dry and noisy too, so i took this starter all apart and greased it and put it back together. I'll put it back on tomorrow

Yes with the valves seated.


How does the starter sound now?

Idk, I'll try all that stuff tomorrow

I do'nt want to compare your Heads with the Head of my Dads Flatty, I need to pull the head and lap the valves

I checked the valves, they're pretty tight seating.

When i get this thing together, should i try a whole other intake and carburetor?

Why not go dual Mikunis on each cylinder?

Ok but you're buying

Yeah if you have a carb and manifold you know are good I say swap it on and see if it changes anything.

Alright. I'll try the manifold from the 20hp and probably multiple carbs lol.

Definitely try another manifold.

If everything fails, SCRAP MUTT!

Or better not. You need a Rig til Budgie runs
