Best I've got to add on the topic is a cracked oil sump and some knocking. It still ran decent, but it got to the point where I couldn't tell if the rainbow in my roostertail was from the sun or the sump! LOL |

That gorge you see in the middle of the piston is not a hole that was burned into it from being lean more like detonation and the connecting rod being shoved through it from more than likely being siezed in the cylinder from overheating. That is not a Briggs piston that I see there, looks more like a Generac piston which is alot bigger.  Alot more things to consider if that is the case. That little leak in the boot would mostly affect the motor at idle not at 2000 plus rpms.

The motor ran fine until that never had a nock or noise come out of it!! Either the hole came from comming across the lake with the carb weight pulling down on it with the rough water!! OOOOOrrr the other thing waas the connecting rod bolt broke!! |
