Hi all,
Up-date on my Gravely L8 Convertible. Have it all torn down again, jug off, measured ring gap. Top ring .026, middle ring .077, bottom ring .062.

Did reset timing as reading manual numerous time found that setting line to dot at TDC can be misleading as we need to be going on the down stroke and not at the very top. Carburetor is being rebuilt with some new hardware. Do understand that these machines are very forgiving as for tolerances, but if you are used to working with tenths and millionths in calibrations, we maybe a bit too critical?

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
