I do know that. It bouys me. For some reason, it just felt too hard to reach out.

Next time that happens (and I anticipate there will be a next time), I'll reach out to one of you so you can let the others know. I'm so sorry if I caused worry to anyone. 😢😢

These engines come to rest when you shut them off with one exhaust valve wide open. Your one cylinders flathead will always come to rest with its exhaust valve open. All the way open. Various crud which gets hot while it's running can accumulate on the exhaust valve stem and solidify. If it gets too built up, it'll hold the valve open. On your mower or tiller, simply pull the head and rotate the engine until the intake valve is wide open. The lobe will be away from the exhaust valve. Shoot a bot of solvent on the stem and let it run down. Rotate the engine to make sure it's working as designed. The last mower I did I had to soak the stem 3 or 4 times before it was clean enough.


The seller said that the #2 exhaust valve was stuck open. I think he ran a compression check. He was going to pull the head but I agreed to buy the car if he'd leave it be, so he did. He said that he'd tried the solvent in the oil thing without success. I figured that worst come to worst, I'd have to pull the head if my experiment failed, which I think it has worked. If I pulled the head, I'd have done what I'd do with the mower engine. If that didn't work, it would be because something like a valve spring had broken was had bound the valve. There's a crankcase air inlet cylinder which was added by the factory after the first few engine went out and got sticky valves, and it's missing. It'll surprise you to know, Wat has spares.

I have a feeling that it can’t be that hard.

(Heh heh)

But also very famous last words!

I know enough to be dangerous, and YouTube is your friend. My Torino has a 351 Cleveland block, but it runs like a champ when I’m not having electrical problems.

Anyway, maybe when I finally retire, I will try to rip apart old engines and make them run… there is that old Studebaker pick up truck on our farm. And the old farmall tractor.

It's a song by Neil Young, about a past love, and longing to see them again. At least that's how I've interpreted it. But a special love - could be a spouse, but maybe not, could be the one that got away, or just one you've always fondly remembered.

His version is good, but this one's better.

Yes…we are that couple. This was “our” song. It came out when we were dating and all these years later, it remains a very special reminder of when we fell in love. Thanks for the reminder. I need to play it for her as we haven’t listened to it in a while.

For reference this was a tribute to Neil’s wife. I view it through that lens with mine.

The MZ and wishing all of you have a Harvest Moon moment. 😍

If we had a real live engine that this was going on with it, and we were to go step-by-step to diagnose it, You'd get it totally. First time. Funny thing is, nobody told me and I figured it out myself. That was a long time ago.


@Wonderer67 : Ford used a piece of neoprene gas line for the last 18" or so from the fuel pump to the carb. This is a maintenance item to prevent leaks and fires. If you don't use the car much and change the oil once a year, change this piece of line, too. It's easy to get to and cheap. You'll sleep better. More gooder, too.

That’s exactly what happened.

In the summer months, the engine will run a bit hot. It always has, but not to the detriment of the motor.

we were going to take her to the punk rock bowling festival in Asbury Park. We got about a mile away from the Stone pony, at the intersection of bangs and Main Street and smoke started pouring out of the engine compartment!

Luckily, it was not that bad and I had a fire extinguisher, plus the police station and the fire station was literally on the same block.

I had it flatbeded at home, but not before we ended up going to the punk rock bowling festival where I got fucking ripped! We know we are going to have to call a cab home anyway.

The rest of that summer I put on a new intake, manifold, carburetor, and air cleaner, as well as replaced all the hoses and wires.

Shit, I was looking for a picture, because my wife took a picture of it while it was on fire, but I can’t find it.
