Sorry about angle mainly looking for the sound. My motor will click and shut off if idling, if giving it gas it will click and run ruff. Any ideas. Can't really tell where the click is com6eing from

Do a compression test.-----Post the actual values seen on the gauge.

possibly a lean sneeze

probably because you had the red lever in the closed position and the automatic enrichment system could not add extra fuel when motor is cold.

or you have other carb problems

Think we found the problem we pulled the oil reservoir off and found a hairline crack in the block. I can post pictures but I'm assuming this engine is trash?

Once again this might be proof that many used motors are sold when major issues are present.-----It is always " buyer beware " when looking for a motor.
