When starting cold (92F day) with the pony engine and compression release set and throttle cracked the engine will start to fire and run before I set the compression release to run. I want to make sure there is oil pressure first. The main engine is puffing white smoke from the time I start turning it over till it catches.
When I want to shut it down it doesn't want to stop. Throttle all the way forward and I even set the compression release and it still won't quit. Usually needs to be put in gear and the clutch let out to get it to quit running.
Shutting the engine off is actually more worrisome to me. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Check your linkage maybe a rod bend or could full dirth rear fuel injection pump.
check for slop in the linkages make sure your getting full travel.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
