Ok, I have done several searches and think I know the answer, but would like to get some opinions. Recently purchased a B2100 with about 600 hrs. Looks and runs good but has a lot of blowby at lower speeds and idle, the end of the tube is wet with oil when I shut it off, and it will fog up the barn if it sits and idles for long. Was told to run it hard and would possibly clear up, and it doesn't seem to be losing any oil. Now that the weather has cooled off it is very hard to start, it chugs like it wants to start but just wont. Have to crank it for quit awhile to start, then it smokes like it is flooded. Again, once it starts and "clears it's throat" it seems to run good. I don't think it'll clear up by itself.
I'm thinking bad rings, low compression= blowby and hard starting? Any thoughts? And what can I expect to pay to have fixed? Thanks!
