Run it

I was thinking the same. So if it blows up I can sue you and get a new motor ???
Was running fine before I shut it off, only reason I did shut it off was because the lean surge after I let off throttle . If that wasn't going on I would probably never know.

Take a look at the cylinder from the exhaust side. Looks just as it was before. Holy poop did I get lucky or what ? if it did suck in dirt, there was very little and it didn't do anything to the cylinder or anything. Granted I run in grass and there isn't that much loose dirt but still, there was a fek load of stuff around and on the intake aswell as in the stack and the filter.

Bought a new air filter (don't trust that one, can't find any tears but fek using that old one) , and a redneck, and I have filter cover as you probably noticed. So hopefully nothing enters again

Grass is full of dirt, dirt is just tiny rocks mixed with organics. You got real lucky.

Gunna flush the motor out with gas just in case if any poop has slipped past. Unlikely but I'm going to do it for a piece of mind.

 

[misterleon]

Probably good idea

Toss some 3in1 in there. I use it constantly and seems to really help things stay nice.

Don't have 3&1 but I have got 2 stroke oil

Better than nothing. Get some, or a equivalency. It really helps longevity a lot. Ive got a 23cc with 10+ gallons on it that still runs tits. Letting a bit of lube work into the metal is important. Thats my theory anyway ?‍

My exhaust bracket has been feked for a while, the area around the hole was cracked for a while. So I decided to make a new bracket with some steel I had lying around. Not the prettiest but it will get the job done. Maybe I'll sand the paint off but I'm feeling real lazy today ?

New on the right obv

Thanks Doug ?
keep my thread about my rig (or RC at all), not your bullshit opinions about unrelated crap (21bb, Sean) ?

 

[DougStar]

K we seriously need to keep ? where it should be ??????

Edit: Never mind

So I just flushed my motor out, poured a bit premix down the intake and spark plug hole, turned it over a few times ,poured it out, did that 3 times. Maybe overkill but I did it anyways. And I may or may not have spilled quite a bit on the head itself, so my question is, how long does it take for this premix to evaporate ? The internet says like 5 mins but this also has oil in it. And then after I flushed it I added a lil bit of oil to the cylinder and bottom end.
Still waiting on parts btw. Taking a feking forever

Who's cares ? its no big deal ?‍??

 

[mark35]

You would be best cleaning the cylinder as crap will stick to the oil left over after the fuel has evaporated, makes a right mess

 

[21bangbang]

Are you worried about spilling gas on a engine? Its ok, they like that stuff. Makes em go vroom vroom???

 

[Seandonato73]

Remember its Just a weedwacker engine, so it doesn't matter how much gas you spill on it.?

Paranoid as fek ? you know me.

Yeah I just cleaned it off with acetone

I was going to say to use acetone ,it evaporates quick .you don't want oils on the outside of your rig as it will collect dirt!

An I know you keep acetone under your bed!.....

Still waiting on parts, USPS is taking feking AGES ????????? and they delayed my tires for 3+ days. Loosing my feking mind, wanna wrench ffs.
