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.

Re: Low miles 1985 Aero 50 restore
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.

Re: Low miles 1985 Aero 50 restore
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.

Re: Low miles 1985 Aero 50 restore
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.PorterGuy85 wrote:I have a spree carb I just got. Hopefully i can use the bystarter off it. Wish me luck. It was in a pile of parta I got.

Re: Low miles 1985 Aero 50 restore
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.

Re: Low miles 1985 Aero 50 restore
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

Re: Low miles 1985 Aero 50 restore
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?
