purge without running the motor?


Recommended Posts

Might be a stupid ? But I did something stupid. Ran my motor without a chain because I was impatient. Well the motor got away from me while attempting to idle it. Now I'm scard as shit to crank it again until I order my chain. so I tore my carbs down and cleaned them but what about the cylinders and crank. Could I pour a small amnt of gas and oil mixed and spin over by hand?

I'm trying to figure out what the chain has to do with anything?

When it ran away from me a few days ago I couldn't kill it. Pulled lanyard nothing, pulled plug wires, nothing, just sat there shitting a gold brick till it died. I'm a lil gunshy now lol

If you wanted to purge it you should be fine, it will probably be hard to keep running on gas/oil. If they run away you can cover the carbs, pull the carbs out of the boot if they arent in crazy tight , also they will usually die if you crack the throttle wide open.

I set both needles to 48.5. While doing so I noticed that one of the needles were pointed in the wrong direction. There's my problem along with being a dumbass lol I even paid close attention not to do that but did it anyway. Thanks for yalls help and I'll go ahead and purge it out the right way.
