M92 Help - Thanks Gil!
« on: October 19, 2020, 06:35:24 pm »
I took the back part of my M92 apart on Saturday and never gave losing the timing a passing thought.
Couldn't get the piston out of the back (the reason for dismantling) and Daniel said in a post answering my query to take the head off and access the piston that way.

So put the engine back together, again never giving the timing a passing thought (totally oblivious). Put some juice into the tank....tried to start it and it just sounded like a dead motor.
From a great runner to a dead runner....then the timing issue hit me. Oh no I completely stuffed that up and how am I going to get this timed?

Multiple helpful phone calls to Gil and some detailed pics emailed to me by Gil and following the timing instructions the M92 is running wonderfully again.

Thanks Gil!!! I have those pics filed away now in folder.

I was thinking that I was going to be posting this to Gil to get working again :)

The other one is up at the general store to pick up now :)

Less fiddling and more running it :)

Jenny bought 6 cans of Zippo fuel for me and the lady said "You're not making a bomb are you"  >:(
