New to GSN!
Mate has one and his lasted 2min max . Was hard to start and bit 3 hands . Then they found only one cylinder firing . Swapped ignition and plugs then it ran for 2mins . Seamed like a bearing let go . Shrapnel inside destroyed both pistons. New engine on its way . His mate has one and no problems. Ive yet to fire mine up . Found prop shaft is not parallel and thicker at the tip just as you start to put prop on . The exhaust bolts are too short to use and so are the prop bolts . Will also replace spark plugs before starting . Hopefully I have a good engine .
Well found out the problem. Timing was way out. The engine backfired so hard it broke the prop and damaged the rear bearing. Subsequent starting resulted it shrapnel scoring piston and liner. His replacement engine was out of timing and broke another prop thats when we compared timing setups . My magnet is past the sensor at TDC . His is behind the sensor at TDC
