Low miles 1985 Aero 50 restore

4 or 5 full turns should be enough to get a accurate reading

Great, thanks

First puff should be a substantial one. When I recently tested my spare aero af05 I was getting 115psi after 4-6 puffs, but the first puff was consistently to 60psi.

Tried a couple different plugs, gaps ok, great spark. Air filter on, off. Hand over inlet, 1 3/4 & 1/14 turns out. I got a small sputter. Plug still wet when I check it. But it still has a spark. Really dark/black oil on plug..... not looking good.

Popped muffler off, exhaust port dripping. Fml, still flooded...I'm going to have to tear down this whole engine. Great.

[PorterGuy85]

Took it apart. And yes, gaskets are shot. Oily/watery fluid was in crank. Is this sufficient to dry out or pull engine in halfs? Piston & rings look ok.

Teardown

[PorterGuy85]

Well, I basically tore it down. Drained fluid from crank & put backtogether--won't start.

Spent most of my time making gaskets & putting back together. Spent 2 mins trying to start.

I'll dive into it more and start over diagnosing everything.

Well, I appreciate your commitment. I know how it feels to put the motor on and off a few times in one day. It is worse with the h20 cooled motors if it makes you feel any better. Looking forward to your success.

Thanks, it's just crazy how it was running and magically it's dead. Going to check compression again now that its back together, tighten up airbox. Clean & check plug, set the carb good & just keep trying. Plug shouldn't get wet anymore. We'll see.
I will also try the spree bystarter and maybe it will fire up.

Timing you say? I will check. I should be good to go with some more time with it. Now that I got rid of the fluid in crank. I won't hold throttle or use hand. I'll report back soon. Thanks

[PorterGuy85]

I checked the manual, not seeing much on inspecting the key. Is there a link/image of what to check. Would this even be my issue?

fly wheel key is under the fly wheel .. it a hafe moon peace of steel that hold the fly wheel in place to have the timming wright... if its not in there or sheard it will never start or even sputter.. you cood try a timming light as will it will tell you if the timming is off...
