Gotta love nice BRIIIIIIGHT lights!

HIDs it is then! Both are budgetable, and both look good (in my opinion) though in different ways. One has the pure retro look and the other has the retro futuristic look like the new camaro does.

Just thought I'd ask some of the more experienced riders - didn't realize you rode, 'mac!

80 psi is only 5.47:1, right?

Sounds really, really low to me, but I'm not a mechanic...

You have spark
You have 80psi Per Cylinder (normal from what I know)

Dry plug troubles me..

Sure the plugs are wired correctly for the firing order?
Is it carb'd or fuel injected?

well the teacher said it should be 90 (tecumseh) lev105 lawnmower engine but since its dry in the cylinder or something that would make it lose pressure,

i know everything torqued right

Try spraying some starter fluid in there and see if that fires it up?

May just need a kick-start the first time...

P.S. - And be sure to follow Zabos advice; he knows a lot more about this than me, lol.

Heh.. we inadvertently did that with our o-200. We had a weird con-rod that had a bushing that was totally out of whack. So what did we do? Ground down the rod on a bench grinder and plunked it on. Put the engine together then went to start it.

Jammed inside the cylinder. Started burning up the starter so what was our solution?

WD 40 in the cylinder. Ran just fine.. turns out the piston was jammed a few mm's to the side and caused it to rub hard. If we had oiled the rings (like we were supposed to) we wouldn't have had that problem..

But I'd venture a guess to say that since it's a lawnmower engine, starter fluid in the carb. Or just try to prime it before you start it again.

Pic is of our engine. Cylinder right over my right arm is the one we WD-40'd into working.

Does it sound like it could be the linkage making noise? If so Its probably normal...... But hell its under warranty it doesnt hurt to take it in!
