OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Edgers Two Stroke Edgers Joe's tilt a cut resto...

So a few weeks back I bought this from the tip for $10




So first things first, it was missing the blade cover and blade, the new cover was actually cheaper than the blade itself, also straight away got the circular blade.. Cover $14 blade $24




So I removed the engine from the frame and pulled the engine down to see why it was stuck. Not a fairytale ending for this motor, it will be replaced with another series 70 motor from a lawnmower usingthe tilt a cut flywheel. Also broke my damn flywheel puller, just what I needed.








One thing thats worth noting is there is no engine number, must be a tilt a cut only thign as I have always seen them on other engines. All 3 main bearings were seized, little end was seized and the big end was pretty stiff, although seeming so much water got into things the magneto still works great after testing.

More to follow when I get some more spare time.
