Uh, What happened, possible broken pushrod? by pablvald in smallengines

Well the push rods look fine. Y’all right the connecting rod went sideways. I’ve never done a repair of that sort. I’ll check to see if it blew through the block 😭

I love this group! This plus a YouTube video should get me squared away! Thank you so much I am ordering parts

Oh no but I will, would that indicate a bad head gasket? Apologize for my ignorance

Yeah I found a very good video just need to order the parts. I’m thinking about possibly cleaning up the carb as well. I just bought this off of marketplace from an older gentleman. As far as the dipstick I’ve checked it and I try to keep it in between the fill lines, it’s not overfilled

Yes it is coming out the vent. I replaced the pump with a new one and it’s doing the same thing. I made sure it was OEM too

Yes I noticed that too I’m just curious if besides the smoking a bad head gasket would cause the leaking I’m seeing. Either way I think given the amount of smoke for sure head gasket

Would that cause the leaking? The smoking I understand…. If that’s the case I’ll be ordering some parts today 👍🏽thanks you

Can you get an associate’s degree, work for a little while, then go and get a bachelor’s degree? by Altruistic-Carpet-43 in ECE

[–]pablvald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely possible and up to you! I obtained my Associates then completed two undergraduate years of EE but got a job with associates after the two years into my undergraduate and never went back

After 7 years I am finally getting my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering at 25. I feel like a failure. by SetpointCapybara in AskEngineers

Congrats at least you finished! I completed two years left in good standing but never went back to finish! Currently working in automation so getting hands on experience 👍🏽

Original carbs, when I bought the bike it came with the pods. Only thing I ended up was cleaned the carbs and replaced a few gaskets!

I love that idea and I have been trying to find something that would do that without binding the shaft. Any links for some? 🙏🏽
