Re: Preparing to start her again... after 12 years in storage - suggestions needed
Hey guys thanks for the answers. Brad, thanks for the questions.
I just got my KM20 running after long inactivity. Also not sure how it was protected. I did the oil in the engine. Cleaned the carbon off the intake valve, rebuilt the carb including lapping the leaking float needle, now it runs very nice.
BUT my transmission is leaking. Looks like I to have the automatic chain Oiler. I suspected that seal. Thanks for confirming that and mentioning that it is not an easy job.
Brad, good luck on getting her going. I need choke, three kicks with compression released and throttle open. Choke off, ignition advanced, 1/2 throttle and a good kick with it just a little past TDC.
Starts usually on first kick. Sometimes I need some chock even though it has been very hot here. Once it it running for about a minute no chock required.
