"I just bought a early 80'
"I just bought a early 80's Montgomery Wards seaking with I believe the same era Honda b-100 10hp. I had it runnung ok, a minor fuel problem, mostly i think it was a leak. It would run fine for awhile then it would seem like it was losing the prime on the fuel tank. So I replaced the entire fuel set up and now it wont start. I did notice a bit of smoke for about 8-10 seconds when it was running, but it did start again after that, and ran ok. I have checked the plugs, the lower cylinder has some oil, the top is ok.
After taking it home and replacing fuel line and new hose clamps, i primed it nice and tight and NOW IT WONT START.
I noticed the oil light, is lighting up while pulling the start cord. I dont know if this is normal as I use it mostly in the daytime and cant tell if the light does that normally. I checked the oil level it was at around 500. So I added oil to around 700. That means it only had about half the compacity that it was supposed to. I dont think i fried the motor, I think something needs to be reset, (I hope). The light still comes on while trying to start it. For the life of me I cant get it started, when it used to start 1-2 pull.
My questions are:
-Is there a reset for the light?(notlikely)
-Has the oil pump taken a Sh*t on me?
-I have the book and dont see a thermal switch.
-Is the light supposed to lightup/flicker at start up? until pressure builds up?
-Do I have TO MUCH pressure in the fuel system?
Please any help would be appreciated."
