What's that off of?
IME the industrial B&S has always been reliable but never as easy to start as Honda.

What did you find?
Clogged oil passage???

It's off an overseeder. Apparently the Intek 206 is known for rods just giving up on life and there wasn't much oil at all in the crank case when I opened it up.

Well, finished everything on the trucks front end accept for the passenger side caliper and pads, my caliper piston will not go back in past half way, looks like I need a new one. I wish I hadn't of sold the dana 44 solid front I had for this thing, the TTB is such a POS!

Good morning CT

Summer hours start today at work. WE go in a little earlier but we leave at 2:30. It gives me so much free time. I will either be very productive, or become a drunk.


Maybe both lol
