Got a 149 with problems.
Howdy all, I bought a 149 for fairly cheap from a neighbor for a project. Slowly I am fixing minute things. it runs, however I was told it burns oil. Also it blows some white smoke at start and stutters at high rpms. Gearheads at work mentioned rings or head gasket. i was wondering if a rebuild kit would fix my problem? Or I could there be a bigger or smaller Iissue?
Thanks Mike |
does the smoke smell like oil or old gas?

Fresh fuel did not help, still had smoke. I also drained the oil, it was nasty, and has some streaks of something in it, maybe it was gas?:bigthink:

Pulled the piston today, no rings were cracked or anything like that... what else can I look for? I'm going to grab a micrometer from work and mic the cylinder...
Anyone have the link to the manual that gives acceptable tolerances? :bigthink: |
It is in the Technical Library Section..... K Series Service Manual

I'm guessing this is the first motor you've ever taken apart.
Well, since you pulled it down, just start piling up your pennies to rebuild it. No need to go mic'n the bore. Just go find a shop and have them bore it. No sense in going that far and not doing it right. The shop will tell you how much it needs bored. No need to measure it. No, before you ask, honing it and slapping a set of rings in it isn't a rebuild, and it's a waste of time. Do it right, the K series are cheap motors to rebuild. Done right they last, oh, around 25-40 years depending on they're use. (About 1500-2000hrs or more if you take care of them) :beerchug: |
