Yours lasted about as long as my sig series. I think I'm done with OBR for a while.

Totally different issues but I get what ur saying. Mine has less than 3 hours , I don't think this is.my fualt. It was running hella rich, just lean enough to get it to rev out. It is quite dissapointing , especially for a first experience with one of their engines.

Grass clogged the air holes on the case. It overheated and destroyed the top end.

Yeah your reed is feking awesome ?
 
ALRIGHT! I've found something. So I noted my pullstart wasn't catching, which was odd as the pullstart was fine,and the flywheel was fine. So I took the flywheel off today (previously I didn't take the flywheel off, as it is a female dog to do, and I thought since the engine turned over by hand, it was fine), well not so fast. I took the flywheel off, and the key fall apart in 2 , and the flywheel is cracked as fek. So , that might be why it was clanking. And that's probably also why it wouldn't run or just run like dogshit, becuase the timing was well feked

I hope I haven't hurt it by trying to run it like this.

Damn right it was ???????????

I'll add, it might be partially my fault. The key has a small gash in it from when the flywheel fell off, and most likely weekened it. But I said, "Naaaaaahhh FACK it" and we're here lol. That's exactly why the key sheared (it split exactly where the the gash was).
