Why is the rotation of the flywheel is hard to rotate in certain areas
Johnny For model number 31X707 0777 E2 - March 17, 2022

Hi Johnny, Thank you for your question. If you are finding it difficult to rotate the flywheel, check the flywheel key. It may be broken. If it is, you will need to replace it. Also check the valve clearance of both the intake and exhaust valves. If the clearance is too tight, this will result in high compression and you will have difficulty rotating the flywheel. If you have any questions, please let us know. We are open 7 days a week. We look forward to hearing from you!

I bought an electronic ignition and I'm getting spark but it's a weak spark. The spark plug I got is an R45 acdelco could that be the reason
Wesley For model number 326431-0136-01 - January 29, 2022

Hello Wesley, Thank you for your inquiry. It could be the spark plug, the ignition module/magneto or the flywheel key. We would recommend checking these parts. Good luck with your repair.

I could not repair the motor. The block had 2 cracks 3\" long on the corners on the same side.

I will keep the parts, because I have other motors that can use the same parts.
