Hello,
New problem in the motor. Recently, after feeling like I had a fix, the motor was running nicely, running consistently, and had it's power back, I ran it out to my local river and unfortunately, it died while idling. I tried to restart it, and unfortunately I could hear the starter engaging but the flywheel wouldn't spin. I pulled it out of the water and removed the sparkplugs, and I was able to get the flywheel to spin again. However, the top cylinder spark plug had what looked like a melted ball of soft metal attached to the side electrode , which from what I've read on other forums is a bad news. I was able to pull it off and it was magnetic *sigh*.
Here is the question, is this motor damage past the point of no return? I'm guessing this was caused by an oil issue that was going on, but I'm unsure. I think the oil pump might be bad, so I'm going to bypass the oil pump and just go premix.
Is this two stroke burned out? Thoughts?
