Hello Shaun here i havent been around for a while but i am back with a question about a power torque engine that i was given by a mate to see whether it could be fixed i recon that i know what is wrong with it by doing some reasurch on here. Bear with me though i think that you people will come to the same conclusion as i have. I did the usual things like check spark which was there and cleaned out the carby then tried to start it. no go so i dug deeper took the cowling off and the starter and could check the bottom of the piston . As some one on here in another thread had advised to be done . Scoring of the base of the piston which could mean that it had at some time been run on straight petrol!!!
took the head off today and checked the bore same thing. Look at the pictures and tell me if you agree with me that it is a dead engine or a boat anchor. It was a v40 off a silver streak mower. Please tell me if you come to the same conclusion as i did
Thanks Shaun
