Re: fl350 engine help...please!
I guess were just gonna take it out and take it back to the engine shop in the morning. the top end is brand new. it ran fine the last time...it was VERY fast and had plenty of power and all of a sudden it just dies. it's not fired up since then and we dont know what else to do
 we've tried everything. could it be a bearing seizing in the bottom end?? |

Re: fl350 engine help...please!
Where did you buy the oil? You don't know what kind it was? There are many things that "might" cause it" If the clutch was doing it it would be likely wobbling all over to lock the motor.
It sounds like you burned the piston. It might be to lean or not enough oil. 50 to 1 is only ok if your jetting is spot on or a lil rich and the oil is top of the line. Doing that with cheap oil ruins $$$ engines. Its not real clear as you are not telling us whats we are asking. The better you answer our question we ask the better we can get an idea of whats wrong.
