| id say as long as it dont smoke or knock your good. ive had plenty of these engines naver had a prob other then dirty carbs. just keep oil in it and the govener hooked up seen tons of these motors where they took them off and ended up putting a hole in the block lol | |

| has the motor sat on its side or facing any other way then what it would normally sit?
ive had motors left on the there side and that and the cyl fills up if not you might have weak rings if it doesnt clear up do a compression check on it. or just keep adding oil lol | |

| Sounds like either a carb issue or a spark issue - if its an older type , it could have points ( youd see a wire running under the flywheel by the magneto- NOT the stator wires tho) or could have a bad magneto.
Ive had both some with points and bad magnetos - the points i cleaned up and it ran for 30 minutes and quit when the contacts got too hot - replacement would fix that - or a points delete kit/mageto would fix that.
I had a bad mag on one tractor, even after cleaning the mag ends, magnet of the flywheel, resetting the gap , changing the plug and getting a decent shock , the tractor refused to start - i replaced the mag with another and it fired right up. | |
