Picked up a real old Homie today.
Owner said it starts when he adds gas to the carb but doesn't stay running.
1st things I thought of were fuel delivery and/or exhaust issues, possibly the carb needs a rubber, so to speak. It needs a fuel cap, unless the OEM one is supposed to leak when it's on it's left side.![No funny :nofunny: :nofunny:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Muffler is clean & clear, piston is a bit brown on the side, like old varnished, gummed up gas & oil (hoping that's it).
I have no idea if the clutch is ok.
Good compression pulling the rope.
It does start, so there's spark.
Have to tear into it this weekend & see what the fuel lines look like & the filter.
Chain oiler works.
Nice n light, compact, pretty good for limbing I think. There are no dawgs on this though,![WTF :wtf: :wtf:](/styles/toronja1/emoticones/wtf.gif)
$30 plus the 3 hour round trip to ... out that way on the highway to this road & then down this road 3 miles, turn left then right & past the cows to the ... you get the idea.
So, for what I paid & the impending work to follow, what do you think? What are your ideas about this Canadian classic?
