Dropped Intake Gasket into Engine on Vader

JadenHamilton · 06-15-2023, 02:28 PM

I dropped a little piece of the paperlike gasket down into the engine on my Vader gen 2, when trying to retune my carb. I tried fishing it out and couldn’t see anything, I tried turning it over after and it won’t start. I’m not smelling gas. Anyone know what to do?

Did you try spending the night at a Holiday Inn Express ?
It works on TV .
I am thinking you should probably pull the head and clean out the junk .

Pull the head off if you think the gasket piece is around the piston.

Otherwise check your pilot circuit makes sure it's not clogged

Chances are the gasket material got stuck under the intake valve. I'd try turning the crankshaft so the intake valve is open then blow compressed air into the intake to try and dislodge it.
