Hello all,
I am after your opinion before I go stripping this engine further.
As above honda gx340 on small trencher running a hydraulic pump.
Ran fine last year but stored outside. Would not start this year so quick clean of carb, fresh petrol. Fires up quickly but smoking like billio, but it did this when cold before. Cuts out after 20 - 30 seconds. Then I notice it is ******* out oil from exhaust! This makes me think piston rings? This would explain the smoke but why would this cause the engine to cut out after 30 seconds? Especially as it fire o. 2nd or third pull. Possible second issue? Fuel issue?
So ideas on why it's cutting out?
Anyone have a dummies guide to removing piston?
Many thanks
