The machine is unknown to me, and the owner is not the one who modified it, nor does have a clue what has been done to it. The fmf pipe and v-force3 reeds and a 240 main jet are only clues.
Gas tank had horrible residue from old gas, ethanol it looks like, but the carb was only a little gunked up so I thought the petcock stopped it.
The engine kicked over and had compression so I gave the carb a quick cleaning filled bowl with premix, the engine still has the autolube, and it started with a few kicks. I thought ok this is not so bad.
The machine needed sprockets and chain rusted solid, today when I removed left engine cover I found lots of white powdery residue, so much that it ran out holes in flywheel when turned. I don’t know how it made spark, or kept from destroying magneto when it did run. I have removed stater plate took pics . I’m sure the ethanol filled engine and came thru crank seal to mag. The trans oil is not over full.
What do you all think is next?
9/4
I think it needs to come apart and see if inside looks like outside, I probably should not have started it.
