I just fully assembled an engine that I disassembled because it was froze up. Apparently literally, because I emptied about a pint and a half of water from the fuel flow area of the crankcase. I found a single flap of the reed valve broken. I don't remember which side, because I wasn't paying attention when I removed it. I "repaired" it with a junk credit card by attempting to make one like a gasket.
I got it to start this morning, but didn't run very well. Ran for about a minute and popped through the carb. Now it won't even hit a lick. We've been snowed in and will prob through the week so can't buy a new reed valve flap.
Compression is 100. A bit low, I know, but should run me thinks. Good spark. Plenty of 32:1 fuel mix. Oil injector been bypassed.
Does the Reed sound like the culprit? Any other suggestions what it may be while I'm snowed in with nothing to ride?
