Heat Issues
The remaining factor to be considered:
• You could now encounter a major repair and the
need for a short block
• Compare the cost of repair versus cost of
replacement
• Remove the spark plug, pull the starter rope
slowly and look for evidence of excessive heat,
and scoring on the sides of the cylinder, caused
by heat or dirt ingestion
• On a two cycle unit, remove the muffler and,
using a light, look into the exhaust port and
observe the condition of the piston and rings
