    Alot of forums people come and ask questions, get their answers and dissappear.
    I just want to update to show my appreciation.
    It was a pressure washer that had been thrown away. It looked pretty good so I grabbed it. My wife was less than impressed but I digress. It appeared to have a new carburetor on it and the only thing that was missing was the air filter element and cover.
    I think the previous owner tried to fix it by installing a new carb but that didnt work.
    I got it home and looked it over, I did a comp. test on it and it was below 60 psi. I ordered up the parts, $85 worth and tore into it. With the help of the link that was provided it was pretty straightforward. I split the sump from the cylinder and inspected everything. The cylinder and the piston all looked great. No scoring or burns on either of the piston or cylinder. I cleaned everything up and gave the cylinder a light hone with some emory paper. I checked the ring end gaps and found them to be well within spec. No piston needed or rings.
    I then reassembled and cracked on to the head and valves. I cleaned all mating surfaces and focused on the valves. The intake looked OK but the exhaust was pretty fouled up. Probably the cause of the low compression. I lapped the valves and set the gap to spec and reinstalled everything.
    Upon completion when it came to start I gave her fresh fuel and a new spark plug, a good rip on the cord and she fired right up. I let her run for 5 min or so and let it cool down. Rechecked the compression and it was 115 psi. So I guess it's a wrap. No mention of re torquing the hed bolts in the service manual. But I will do it anyway.
    Thanks again I appreciate it

    That's so awesome, I'm always finding stuff people have given up on because they didn't know how to fix it. I work at a outdoor power equipment sales and repair shop and still learning alot but being a girl/mechanic has it's challenges already so it's great to be able to ask questions here and there as I go cause we work on all combustion engines and so I come across alot of different issues I don't know how to diagnose yet or troubleshoot. I know I got alot to prove to keep up with the guys I work with and so the less help I need from them the better I feel. I find all kinds of stuff like mowers and chainsaws on side of road for scrap that I've repaired and resold. If I wasn't so. Usy at the shop I got a project rider a craftsman 52 in twin 24hp I wanna built a mowcart lol!
