new wires cap and button
it won’t rev past 1800 and backfires really bad any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I’ll grab the seriel numbers. I’m not sure it threw a rod through the block. I bought it with a blown engine.

If unable to find the SN we can make due, its just the number lets us know exactly how the motor was built

Agree with Bondo, the backfire is running out of gas, so it could be your fuel pump is going out or there is a restriction from tank to pump

Ayuh,...... Probably from detonation, caused by a lean condition,.....

Don't do the same thing to the new motor,......
