yes, it had a piston rubbing the cylinder wall.from not getting enough oil. and making the knocking sound. I tore it apart, ordered myself a repair manual. and a rebuilding kit. rebuilt it myself, and it runs great. and with the repair manual, it showed me how to check the fuel enricher, and it wasn't getting any fire. ran a new wire from keyswitch to enricher, now it works. no more problem with cold starting. so far it's working great. ps... I plugged the self oiler off, and I'm mixing the oil in the gas tank myself. so if the cylinders get gas, they get oil. I'll never trust the auto oiler again.
