Rovan 30cc has zero compression

[Z.hb71]

So I was bullshittin around last night and I came across my old rovan 30cc parts, so I kind of put the engine back together (kind of) and I tell you, when I pulled the engine it has ZERO compression, like you could turn it over with one finger (with the spark plug in), but when I put it back together, somehow, it now makes a load of compression!!!! No idea how. Take a look, I think I was to throw this pile of crap back together (by whatever means possible) and see if it will run. Oops I forgot to put up the video ?‍?‍?‍

Possible. I'm Gunna put it together and screw it to a stand to see what happens. For science purposes lol

 

[cbaker65]

LOL....that don't sound like a running engine ,it sounds more like a clicking ratchet ,then a clunk from
it being tossed back in the box!.....LOL....

LOL.....That is easy ,that is how I do ,then I come back to the forum for the rest of the day!......

That's called sloppy seconds!....LOL

 

[lorraine]

zee you need to JB weld lube those case bearings . Squirt it in the ball races and it should take slop out!!!!!!

In the vid there wasn't but there's just as much compression with bearings

If you give up on your RC maxalx super motor I got a buddy that is looking for a motor for his woodspliter!...Lol

I don't know if I should laugh or be offended that you put my alx in the same sentence as a wood splitter ??

 

[lorraine]

Your right, Sorry. those charge pumps on splitters take decent power to get the psi up. I will tell him to get a briggs......

Damn ?‍
Ok well it won't start, gets fuel, air and spark but it just won't light off. Cant say I'm dissapointed or upset, woulda been funny if it did start but it obviously didn't, oh well, was a fun experiment tho!

dump a spoonful of straight oil into plug hole with piston just coming up and covering ports so oil stays put for a bit, and give it a good shot of fuel in carb throat and give it a good yank with carb WOT. P.S put plug back in before you yank

I did try that, didn't work. I even dumped a fek load of fuel down the hole to try and see if it would ignite for even a second, no suck luck unfortunately

Peel all the Rovan stickers off of it and try again
