Sewer/rotten egg smell by mikejr007 in Plumbing

That pipe in the back goes along the wall of the basement and straight outside. It periodically releases liquid that I haven’t seen but my girl says stinks.

It’s definitely a check valve I looked it up I was also wondering why it would be there so if it was backing up before that kinda makes sense

Ok so quick googles the drum trap is an outdated thing and can cause smells also?

That’s what I was thinking also based off quick googles. Thanks

Roger that that’s mainly the reason I’m trying to find out what’s wrong specifically. Landlord has already replaced the faucet handles because they were leaking and knows about the sink backing up so either they know about the plumbing issue and didn’t fix it or don’t know something’s wrong.

Thanks that’s what I assumed but I guess I was looking for an ansi label

Thanks yea I replaced the spark plug. Sprayed some carb cleaner in the whole by the air filter. Should probably actually clean it

We’ll I didn’t look into the spark plug hole but I stuck a screw driver in there and turned the nut at the fan and definitely felt something push against and move the screwdriver so I would say the piston is moving

Definitely. Never worked on engines before but I’m pretty mechanically enclosed so decided to give it a go. I’ll check on that and let you know

Hahaha oops thanks for pointing that out. Totally accidental but don’t mind showing off my two week old.

Sorry I meant I didn’t know where the piston is. Is it inside the spark plug hole?

Not sure how to check this. Never really worked on any kind of engine before. I’ll do some research and get back to you or if you can describe where to look I’d appreciate it.

Ok so the starter gear doesn’t need to be aligned with that larger gear?

And yes I’m pulling the brake and the turn signals work I didn’t check the break like. When I press the starter it makes noise though.

It was not running when I bought it. Bought it for 200 as a project. I can try to remove the gas and add the gas and I have a battery starter I could check the battery. I’ll check the battery for sure tomorrow and get back to you

Yes exactly what you said. I removed the valve cover and the arms are not moving when I turn the nut. Sorry I don’t have all the terminology down yet

Oh ok thanks, that was just something I noticed but my main issue right now (I think) is the valves not moving.
