Rebuilt an 029 using a nice meteor 49mm P&C kit that went together nicely. Seal area was a bit odd and different from the original but no issues there, passed pressure test after assembly with flying colors.
I didn't use the decomp, wanted to keep that off to eliminate any possibility of it coming apart and ruining the piston in the future. (Have a decomp on order, would kind of rather not use it if I don't have to)
Problem is I can't hardly pull it over! Its like I can get one revolution of the motor, and it just binds hard. Both starters work just fine on my 290. Take the plug out and it pulls over just fine, no issues, smooth as butter. Seems like it has so much compression that the starter just can't lug it and it's wanting to bust the darn pawl off. Do they make a starter with 2 pawls? Any ideas?
Checked the plug, no slappin there, Bosch WSR6F. Also removed clutch and worm, no change. Also turned it upside down and let it sit for a few hours, pulled it a few more times, put plug back in, exact same. It will pull over slowly if I keep hard constant pressure on it, but if I try to yank it, it's like I get a little and it just stops.
Could it be the oil on the rings from install? I shot a little gas in there and let it sit, should I pour a bunch in and pull it over without the plug in and then try and drain it? I'll admit I've put new seals or P&C in at least a good 15 saws and I very well might have had this happen before but I'm awful forgetful and don't remember! Haha.
