rebuilder posted:it looks like this 1225 is not too much trick to open I strongly think I have a lazy smoke piston or broken either way it’s smokes but weak and often no puff to it any other tricks I should know to fix this? it’s a super nice engine that was rarely run by the past owner

If the bracket is off or one or both of the balls are out, the piston won't work right. Good luck! Keep us posted on your progress.
