Hi Rob
the sexton engine we rebuilt after Bill got it. It sat in the shop for almost a year before we got all the parts to finish it
It was not a hard job just took time . At the time I had and mechanic that worded for CP AIR help me with it
After the rebuild and break in of about 10 hrs we reinstalled it and put 400 or 500 gallons of fuel through it and it run flawless in the sesquicentennial parade in Kingston in I believe 1985
the biggest problem the engine had to be cranked by hand 52 revolutions of the crank handle before starting with the starter
That is what happened to the engines in the sexton and the grizzly in Shilo
oil compression or hydraulic locks and they scattered or bent a few rods
WHO NEEDS TO READ A MANUAL
lots of luck with the rebuild, Levy's are not around anymore
