i really wish you would recorded the whole process. i just did a tear down and cleaning. But i can not get the thing running. I'm probably going to have to take it apart again. I'm not sure its getting enough gas most likely because i filled the tank up and let it drip and the drops were pretty slow and small. maybe i should have primed the gas hose. tried pulling. the piston is slightly scored but it ran 30 years when my dad used it last. I basically just took it apart and cleaned everything. all the gaskets seem totally fine. i am going to be getting a new carburetor kit for it. kind of just wanted to make sure i can get it running first though, the one thing i forgot the clean on the carburetor was the idle jet. But i gotten take it apart again anyway because i for got to hook the oiler hose up and i want to see if the carb at least getting fuel to it. the spark plug have a nice spark on it. Ill for sure get a knew one also though. idk if all fails and i cant get it running its going to look bad to the bone sitting on my shelve.
