I am working on a 8 hp GX240 honda motor for a friend.He claims that the motor kept quitting and he thought the carb needed to be cleaned out.When he attempted to buy a kit to rebuild the carb, they talked him into buying a new carb as it was almost the same price.
He replaced the carb and now according to him the crankcase is always full of both gas and oil.He let this thing sit for almost three years until he asked me to take a look.
I found the crankcase full of both gas and oil as he had stated,and the motor was missing a spark plug,so I am aware that someone has been here before me.I also attempted to get a rebuild kit to no avail,and I also bought a new carb and a new plug.I put the new carb on and replaced the plug and attempted to start the motor.After much pulling or the recoil rope I reviewed a few things.The carb was getting gas and the fuel line was clear.There was spark to the plug.
I sprayed a quick burst of starting fluid in the intake and the motor fired right up,but only ran for a few seconds,or until the starting fluid ran out.It did that a few times and never did pick up any gas from the carb.
I took a compression check and it is on the low side at approx 70 -80 pounds.
Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause,and if there is something else I can try?
