this has got to the point where i am about to part it out and buy a new one thats how aggravating it has got, i have stressed every option i can think of maybe someone else has got some insight on it, im a diesel mechanic but this is simple 2 stroke sh*t so i bought the 240 installed it per vitos instructions, not that i needed them, simple right? wrong, well it started with 150 psi and still wouldnt start, fresh everything, plug, gas, gaskets etc, fought with it for a week,fixed carb issues, didnt make a difference, so i pulled the back off by the carb and squirted gas in the back, as per vitos request, i was out of options at that point, still nothing, so i poured some carb cleaner down the plug hole and kicked it over, it started so i shut it off, now i know it has a lower flash point than prem fuel, some say use race fuel with the 240 others say they use premium. so i did another compression test and only had 100 psi, so i pulled the motor back off and checked it out, there were some metal shavings in the ports and around the cylinder, wtf? looks like the cylinder isnt damaged at all, looks just like i bought it, did buy it brand new. so i am stumped, so im going to build the leak down tester and reinstall the motor again, thinking i should drain the tank and mix up some race gas for it, let me know what u guys have experienced and what i should try, thanks
