Now its running but knocks
I got the 149 running today, done some carb work, had a bad time getting it to run, right, miss, die, run, miss die, etc. I finally put the old spark plug back in it and it ran of sorts. It will idle fairly well, but doesn't want to throttle up without just dying out.
Now the real problem is, if I throttle it up slow and keep messing with it to keep it from dying, it knocks bad. I suspect thats rod knock, but its loud. So I didn't run it long, figuring sooner or later something might come out the side.
I guess its time to put it aside for a while, save up some $$$ and overhaul it. Never done that, but there is no need to let that stop me.
Keep you posted.
