If it was a chipper I would be spitting feathers, like I did with the Forst.

That thing put me in therapy.

 

 

At least it doesn't have a wet belt...

The @Ty Korrigan scenario where I spend months chasing an answer till I eventually go clinically insane and end up standing outside a supermarket, shouting and hurling faeces at passers by.

If its that bad cant you just swap the engine out for a different brand? Or are we talking mega silly money.

I guess, we’ll have to eliminate the option of fixing/resetting the current one first.

it’s okay, I’ll fix it one way or the other.

I just thought people might be interested in the issues.

The mechanic told me straight out that after some basic repair work they’d wash their hands of the engine.

Heres hoping that you get it sorted sooner rather than later.

 

Ive rebuilt a few 4 strokes over the years but they have been old school carb engines or old school diesels. I think the issue with modern electronic engines is that you cant rely on one component being knackered, repair that and expect the rest to be OK. That short in the loom may have screwed the injector and possibly the ECU, and there may be other wiring issues.

 

What I would do is rule out mechanical issue by performing a leak down test and oil pressure test, if that was good I would replace the wiring loom and get a specialist to test each electrical component.

 

Oh, and maybe start a gofundme page :D

 

Just out of interest whats the cost of a replacement engine?
