jaylael Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 I am assuming it's got good compression since you have a new piston and rings in it. From your lingo "it won't tick over" I thing you mean once you push start it it won't stay running at idle? If that's the case, make sure the pilot jet is not plugged and check for air leaks. Maybe a bad crank seal on the mag side? Is it piston port or reed? It could have a broken reed. This would cause what (I think) you describe.
