QuestionHello John
I have put this engine back together, everything back in the same place as before. I have reseated the valves and fitted new gaskets, however it seems to be running extremly fast. If I was to put it back on the mixer it would problely take off.I can not find what is causing it to run so fast. could it be the timing and if so could you explain to me the procedure to set the timing just in case I have got it wrong.
Regards
David

Hello John
For what reason do they fit a compression release to a engine?, what purpose does it gain, when all it seems to do is clog up the exhaust valve making the engine run rough

-----Question-----
I have stripped down this engine to reseat the valves and replace some gaskets, how ever I noticed that when the crank is rotated in the correct direction the exhaust valve clicks slightly open just before TDC this is additional to its normal opening of the exhaust valve. On the camshaft there is a small brass type clip fitted with a protruding piece opposite side to the cam lift that lifts the valve just a fraction. This causes the exhaust valve to keep coating up. The brass piece does not show in the parts illustration list, I can find no reference to it at all. Can you tell me what its function is, it just seems to be their to cause a drop in compression?. The engine model: 92232 Type: 1241 E1 code:0204103A. Regards David

Hello David:
From your Description it Sounds like you are Talking about the Compression Release. If you were to Purchase a New Cam the Brass Clip would be on the New Cam Also. Because the Clip is Part of the Cam it isn't Shown in the Breakdown/IPL. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.
Good Luck

Hello David:
The Design is for the "EASY START" System. It is Supposed to Release Just Enough Compression to Allow for Easy Start Up But Doesn't Interfere with the Actual Engine Operation. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Thanks.

Answer Hello David:
Did you have the Governor Arm Removed from the Governor Shaft? Did you Ensure when the Pans was Bolted Up that the Governor Rod was Going to Sit on the Governor Inside the Engine? If the Governor Arm Wasn't Resting so it would Sit on the Governor, then the Pan will have to be Removed and the Governor Arm Repositioned to Contact the Governor. Reset the Governor Arm and Shaft First. To Do This; Loosen the Governor Arm from the Governor Shaft. Turn the Governor Towards the Spark Plug Until it Stops. Use the Governor Arm and Hold the Carburetor at Full Throttle. Lock the Governor Arm to the Governor Shaft. If the Engine Runs Full Throttle and Wont Idle, then Loosen the Arm from the Shaft and Reverse the Direction you Turn the Shaft. Tighten and you are Set. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.
Good Luck
