Okay so the AE 28 Pro mill that powers my MGT 4.6 well, isnt powering it anymore...
Its a mill that has seen alot of action, fuel & after-run care along with it being sealed up just so you know where it stands on usage and condition.
When I got it I rebuilt the entire pullstarter and made sure all hardware was tight, carb boot wasn't worn and cracked along with checking & zip tieing the fuel lines and tank. Reset the LSN,MSN & HSN back to factory settings and gapped the carb just right (credit card thickness gap). Dropped 30% Blue Thunder in her gullet and sue fired right up. Needle settings were perfect where they were and needed no fine tuning. After a couple speed passes I brought her in and checked the mill temp by spitting on the mill head ajd counting until it evaporated which was 4-5 seconds for 100% evap so temps were alright. First tank ran like a beast, cooled down 10-12m than dropped tank 2 in her and she started right up. All was good until about 2/3 tank use and then she started to bog at idle and 1/4 throttle punch. Before I could get a tool to it, it made a few bogging noises then shut off making what sounded like a quick faint pshh noise right after the mill died (like an air release style pshh). I immediatly checked mill head temp and still seemed kosher and let her cool due to breaking a part. Well within an hour or so I attempted to run it again and it just did not show any interest in firing up for me, at all! No leaks I can see, engine holds plenty of compression and is getting fuel as it should be.. Even charged up the rx and glow starter along with a new plug in hopes to het her started but to no prevail.
Sorry for the long story but if I dont explain the situation we will end up covering bases.of a.noobish problem so the more you know the better..
