I installed an SBT 587 white engine (single carb) into my 94 SPI in August. On August 15th I put it in the lake and went through the break-in procedure word for word from the SBT site. I followed the SBT recommendation and went premix with an oil block-off kit.
After going through about 35 gallons of gas the engine pooped. Died while riding and now I have NO compression on the PTO cylinder.
I have not pulled the engine yet so I don't know what the piston looks like. I will install another engine but I don't want this to happen again.
I will rebuild the single carb for sure. Any other pitfalls I should look out for?
