Well a lot has happened since my last update, I pulled the engine and found the right side rod was shattered. The crank had some aluminum transfer, the cylinder was great. I found a good piston and rod. I cleaned the aluminum from the crank it cleaned up real nice. I cleaned everything else up and assembled the engine with the new to me piston, new head gasket, new bottom cover gasket, new spark plugs, new oil filter and oil. Then I installed the engine, before I hooked everything back up I checked the compression, I now have 125 PSI on both sides. I bolted it all in, put new plugs in it and it fired right up. Runs awesome, no noises or vibrations. I have a bout 90.00 in the repair. Tomorrow I will put the hood, side shields, and belly screen back on. The yard needs mowed so I figure what better test, I am going to mount the deck and power flow bagger and test er out.
