I'm a regular on other forums but first timer here. Trying to help a neighbor with his SMD. Starting on gas is OK but it dies on the diesel swithchover. I took a look at it today to see if I could help. When he pulls the compression release lever the arm on the friction housing sometimes clicks and stays in place but mostly doesn't click in. I'm not familiar with these but seemed to be something disconnected or broken inside the housing. It started doing this all at once. I advised him to take it off and see if anything is broke. Am I on the right track here??
Also this has the injector with the scavenging pump. There is a flip-up cap at the top rear of the pump with a screen in it, and level and drain plugs on the bottom. Does this get engine oil or is it lubed with fuel. He said fuel came out whenever he removed the plug.
