ohhh...say goodbye to that engine....take the cooling head off and see what the top of the piston looks like.

yup, it sounds like you might have cooked that engine. set the carb back to factory settings and see if you can get it to run with a new glow plug. if you can get it to run and when it warms up and then it stops running until it cools down, then it's cooked and you'll either need to rebuild or get a new one. and since we're on the subject of temps, do you have a temp gauge? it will greatly lower the chance that you'll do this again

i hate to give you bad news but you probably killed the engine...

Does the motor turn over with the E-Z start?,,if so,do you still have compression?

wheelykingdriver521

ya it still turns over and i have compression and it tries to start then it just goes back to turning over and over. i took off the cooling ead and had one of my machanic friends make sure it lokked ok and he said it looks fine so idk

Put a new glow plug in. Reset the carb needles to factory then tune the engine properly. If it still wants to overheat then start looking for an air leak.

TheRealDeal

you might try turning up the throttle trim,or have a friend hold the the throttle open about 1/4 or so,,,you did replace the glow plug and opened up HSN rite ??
