surely everyone is tired of my issues by now, however need some more opinions.A friend who is an antique engine guru, when hearing about my issues is thinking that while i was trying to start my tractor, i "wiped" my rings with gasoline, since i un-doubtedly flooded it. However, i have a couple issues with this, 1) my plugs were never wet with gas, or at least that i saw. and 2) I would think that i would have a heavy gas smell in my oil, and 3) if my tractor normally makes decent compression, not too good but it still did run, the oil in the rings was so important that i cannot make any compression without it. That would mean that my rings are really really worn. And i would think that i would burn alot of oil, and would see alot of venting from my crankcase. When she is pulling hard. Does that sound right to anyone? Obviously i would love what he says to work. He thinks i should soak the pistons with some MMO and let them sit for a half hour or so, and restart, it should work? Which is certaintly better than pulling valve covers and trying to free everything up. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
