Grizzly isn't starting

[Cartolina123]

I don't know why I didn't listen to my pops not to buy a used Grizzly. I said blah it's gonna cost more to buy a brand new one. Turns out I was wrong about that. It definitely cost me a lot already. Anyway, I added some fluid in the carburetor for the starting on top of fixing other minor issues, paint chips (I added decals and they're perfect), now I didn't realize oil spilled, too. So I kind of started the engine without any oil... now it's not working altogether. I know it's my fault but it shouldn't really have broken like that quickly, right? Or is it really my fault? Is there any way to turn this thing around? Thanks in advance, I'm panicking right now because I just used my first salary on something apparently useless.

How's the battery? Have it tested, plays a huge role with all thats happening.

Oil is essential for lubrication, so running any engine without it bad. The internals could look like they've been through the blender or it could be something else. Does the engine turn when you try to start it or nothing's happening?

It's a tough break, man. Running it dry most likely cooked the top end or worse. No oil is forgiven by these Grizzlies. The best course of action at this point is to pull the head, check the compression, and see what's toasted. However, don't be too hard on yourself, there is always a solution

Now you know, best be careful on your next purchases. It's not useless anyway. You can still turn this thing around. Maybe as a last resort, you can sell spare parts.

I dont' wanna sound like a pessimist, but I'm thinking the enginge is toas, since you were running it dry. @grizzly&wolf made a nice point, you can do a compression test first, but I think you'll end up tearin down the engine

I'd recommend pulling the spark plug to check compression, not the whole head.
