Problem: engine starts a sec then dies.
1. Found water in fuel. Drained everything, ran on my tank, same problem.
2. When I was about to come in, I pulled dipstick, and oil just gushed right out. After sitting a min, the oil goes back down. You can crank engine with dipstick out and watch the oil start filling tube...kill switch pulled of course.
3. Oil is not full of water nor smell of gas, so ruled out FP Diaphragm, which I inspected.
When engine starts then immediately dies, it blows a puff of smoke out the intake.
I'm thinking maybe a stuck valve is creating pressure in the CC causing oil level to blow out of tube? And of course engine not starting. I got it to run about 3 sec at most then dies.
I don't work on many 4 strokes cos I can't get all the Diagnostic equipment etc., plus all the 2 strokes no one else here works on them except me lol.
