From this point on, thankfully, I'm the only one that's going to be working on it. Hopefully once I get the fuel system cleaned out, etc I can get it to run again. My only problem now is the guy tells me this morning that he thinks it had alot of blowby (ie-puffing hard, and puffing smoke out of the draft tube), then he also tells me that it had started to run a little hot at times also.
All of this has got me thinking now that he might have a blown head gasket, along with the contaminated fuel, cauising the symptoms that have been described thus far.
I hate coming in behind someone else and trying to diagnose a problem they have already 'diagnosed', especially when I have never seen the engine run and exhibit any of the symptoms described. The last time I ran it was nearly 6 years ago and it ran just fine then. The thing with the economy like it is/was, it didn't run that much between then and the time it was 'diagnosed' to be worn out.... Guess I'll find out what's going on in the next week or so when I actually get the opportunity to work on it.
