I am not sure if this will help you, but I can tell you of a event at our local show that may help you.

I have a 4 1/2 hp Sandow ( hit & miss) that was acting up- The intake is spring loaded and usually very easy to move with the finger and thumb. It was stuck / sluggish at best. We sprayed wd-40 on it--hooked up a drill on the stem and spun it while spraying wd-40 for 15 min. Still no compression, so we gave up on it and decide it had to have a bent valve. This was with the advise of 8-10 experts.

A young guy bystander asked if he could mess with it, I said heck yes, but the crowd of old guys had failed, and all were very well versed on old gas engines. He asked for starting fluid and with 2 quick sprays and I mean only 2, the stupid thing had compression and was running in less that 2 min. after he sprayed it. Now most of us old guys would claim to know it all, and the first, and loudest is always correct, but they all admited they had never seen that one before. And like a Cowboy in the movies I never got the young guy's name or number, and I swear this is the truth so help me. Dave NE IA
