Just got my hx dialed in after an addition of a factory pipe. Ran perfect for 3 hours two days ago then yesterday had it out for about 8 mins and it died. It would crank, impeller was moving but there was a bad ratcheting sound. Engine will turn but not fire. It sounds bad.

My first inclination was starter but then it wouldn't have died while underway if the starter was the issue.

Anyone know if it can be the rotary valve making this ratcheting noise? If it is should I just plan on a full rebuild or mod?

Check compression on both cylynders. If comp is equal and near150psi then you can r r Carb. And watch for rotary vale movement while you turn the pto
