I poured the rest of the quart in, no leaks immediately visible.
It will crank like normal, no weird sound, just no start.
Currently I’m on some guys land way out in the boonies. Gonna get it towed to Alpine, which is the nearest auto parts 100 miles away.
If it’s valve seals or piston rings (according to fb this is the best idea i’ve heard) how do i replace them?
Any other thoughts what this could be?
It was not reading as overheating when it happened, there is plenty of gas and battery.
