What happened to my K341-AQS? ETA now a K341 rebuild
I just started my 1650 and drove it only a bout 100 ft. it slowed down like it was out of fuel so i turned it back to the garage. i got it in position and there was a weird noise then the engine died. it turned over like there was no compression. i checked the oil and it was a little low and quite dark. i can spin the engine over by the driveshaft without any resistance. im pretty mechanically inclined and am also a machinist. i have never done small engine work though, except for taking them apart to see how they worked, ask my dad on that one. so where do i start. im guessing its pulling the head to see if the piston is even moving. i do see a valve moving though the carb and spark plug hole. what kinda advice can i get at this point?
