  • I just tried this on a 1958 rude 10 hp, I used method #2 vacuum plug. the engine runs ok but when I rev it there is a bit of gas that discharges out the side of the fuel pump (briggs type) the little gold filter looking thing on the side of the pump,,What did I do wrong? should I use a minkoni or OMC type pump because its a 10 hp?  thanks

  • @kodibass I try to keep the vent as close to the top as possible. Is yours toward the bottom? Other than that the only other thing I could think of is the pump may be bad.

  • what should compression on this engine be? I have the same one and its only 75 psi, each cylinder, it has good spark, I can put mix in the cylinders and it will only putt a bit but won't start. I was thinking compression is to low?

  • @kodibass It will run well with 75 any below 60 psi will run poorly. Have you checked the coils? Cracked coils will need replaced even if they have spark. new coils, plugs, impeller, gear oil and a carb and points clean will usually fix these old girls right up. 

  • Man that was awesome thanks for taking the time. That was very well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really nice!

    Thanks,
