[Buggy]

Time to bring this thread back to life! I basically had no time this summer to work on anything, but now that the snow is here it's time to get back at the envinrude. I got it all back together yet last winter after I broke the drive sprockets and used it a bit more. I still had problems with it wanting to die on me though once it got warm. I pulled the engine out of it just last week and tore it down to the bare keg and checked it for vacuum leaks. The only thing I found was the carb is leaking pretty bad around the throttle shafts. I did reseal a few things and tightened up the through bolts on the engine just to be sure before I put it all back together. I put fresh fuel in it and charged the battery. It fired right up and ran like a champ! For about 5 minutes... It runs for a bit perfectly and then just like you turned off the key it dies and won't even attempt to restart. I'm thinking it's an ignition issue and hope I have time soon to look at it. Could also be low on compression so I may have to make an adaptor for the 12mm spark plug hole and test it. I also know of another one for sale locally that I may go pick up. Can never have too many parts lol!
