As originally posted the engine ran for 5 minutes and the ass involved attempted restart for ten minutes which might indicate that the ass was able to crank the engine. Which would lead me to believe that the engine is not seized and can be repaired with a kit that contains the "jug" or cylinder, new piston, rings and related gaskets and hardware.

I found just such a kit via Google for just over $200. That and a couple hours of wrench fun should have it running again.

You guys can go back to your dispute now. Funny video..... Australia better watch out.
Thats a fair price. Very very easy to install as well.

Sounds to me you will be eating the bill. I myself dont keep straight gas around. I honestly run mixed gas in everything and i have no issues from it other than some occasional smoke. All my chain saws, weed eaters and leaf blowers are the same mix ratio so i only need to carry one gas can. I run mixed gas in my generator, my lawn mowers and the kids run it in their go-cart. I also put 2-stroke oil in my diesel tanks too to help lubricate the injection pumps.

Your right Woodchuck. you can add pre mixed fuel/oil to 2 strokes even if they are pumped lubrication already. In some cases old 2 strokes run better with more oil because of the better compresson it creates but you lose a tiny bit of power. Dont really matter with tools though. Good fuel/oil mixtures are a must for performance machines though.

Re: "It Wont Start Boss"


Yeah guys... i think im gonna eat this one. The guy was a mess today, must've appologized 50 times to me today... But he made up for it... never seen a guy do verticle brick as fast as he dose, neat too, me thinks hese a keeper. I just brought up splittin the cost of the repair because all 3 of my maintenence routes are responsible for there accidents. I was havin to many broken windows and **** untill i started making them pay for there **** upps... i started doing that 6 years ago... i think ive had half as many broken windows and other bs. Unfortunately, on that truck... its the only thing that takes mix. The compactor, the wet saw... all use straight. That truck had 3 cans on it... 1 for mix, 1 for diesel, and 1 for straight... somewhere along the lines the one for mix dissapeared... so i shoot myself in the foot for not catching the problem early.
