Hi
I currently run a Picco .26 Max. I've run approximately 2.5 gallon through it maybe more.
My problem is, my EZ Start won't turn it over enough to start it. It kind of spins over then suddenly stops at TDC.
So, I stripped it to check it out. I found a collapsed front bearing which had only just been fitted (Boca are sending out a replacement) so I reinstalled old std bearing (nothing really wrong with it). Still the same, the engine is difficult to turn over via fingers on the flywheel. Like a very good compression feeling but I can see (I think) why the EZ Start doesn't turn it enough, it takes some force with fingers. it spins over nicely with EZ Start with Glow Plug removed.
I'm a little perplexed to be honest everything appears fine except my compression has gone up lol.
I bet I'd struggle for it to turn with enough momentum with a pull start.
I wondered if any engine gurus maybe able to offer any advice.
