So I see people ask about this and what all they try to do to get one running again. I figured I would post the steps I take or should I say some of the steps since I am sure to leave out a few. #1 I check the fluids. If oil level is ok in the engine and hyds #2 Make sure the engine will turn over but not move it much #3 ATF treatment and fill the cylinders with ATF and pour as much down the exhaust as I can. #4 I use a piece of wire from the battery to the coil and watch for a small spark when I touch it to the ignition side of the coil. No spark means point needs some work. I check the gas tank and if it looks good pour in a little gas with the air cleaner tube off if easy to do that is. I watch for the carb to leak and if so shut the gas off #5 after a day or so I pull the spark plugs back out and spin the engine over using a 12 volt battery. Yes it makes a mess and you learn not to stand on the plug side of the engine. Made that mistake a couple times LOL. #6 I hot wire it and see if I can get it to run. #7 from there I do what I need to do to make it run well. By the way I do not worry about coolant till after I have it running. Yes one can not run it long as in less then 5 minutes with out coolant but it can be done for a short period of time

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
