[QUOTE="pdqdl, post: 3390069, member: 22041"] I have seen stuck valves bend quite a few push rods. I would consider it "common" for any engine that sat for 4 years. Ether is unlikely to cause the problem. By the way: SeaFoam doesn't really burn too well. You might have gotten that thing to run a little bit (even on bent valves) if it wasn't drowning in petrochemicals that were not intended to burn. Count on cleaning the carb. It's usually not too tricky on an old chipper carb, and until you take it off and inspect (and the rest of the air intake), you don't even know that it isn't filled with wasp nests or some other crap.
