Thanks for the input guys.
I already had removed the injector, and hooked fuel up to it. It did mist.
I then read a manual (I know, dumb place to go for help). The manual said to rotate the prawl or prawn or praw something out of the way to get the gov to max open point. I did this, and spun up the engine faster than I was, and also went through the first compression cycle per Ronmar and BINGO.. she runs with no help!!
Now... the gov is slightly laze. It was painted and that seems to be the issue. I can hear the weights clunking, so that seems to be ok.
Now, I am torn...open the can of worms and take the head off to see the condition of the valves/ seats/ guides/ cylinder, or let ignorance be bliss. I build race engines, so I am sure it will not be to my liking. That does not mean it is not perfectly ok for this application. But, it I take the head off, I am sure I will replace valves, guides, seats (if needed), maybe a little bowl blending in the valve pocket area, new springs, rebush the rocker arms, and IF the cylinder is great, run it. If not (which it won't be) new rings/ piston if needed, etc.
Oh, and it will need to be balanced also.
What you think?
