Love the cable retying trick. never seen it before. I share using the cable tying parts together. Where that can't be done eg bolts, I use a take away container with playdoh or plumbers mate in the bottom. You can keep bolts in the correct order by sticking them in the dough in the correct place, so different lengths get put back in the correct place and order. Cheap, quick and easy to use.

The cable trick was cool. Gonna try that. Small tip: use dedicated cable cutters whenever you can (the parrot beak looking cutters). They give a clean result, and there's less chance of fraying to begin with. Using flat cutters will deform the end, making it difficult to get it into a proper slim shape. (This can be a particular problem on bicycles. For instance, the end bolt for a Shimano Nexus shifter cable has a hole not much bigger than the cable gauge. If even 1 strand is longer than the others, the cable will fray when you slide the bolt on.) -- Also gonna try the silicone trick, btw. Very curious about that :)

To cut cable, first heat with a bic lighter or mini torch to take the temper out of the wires, and twist in the direction of the lay. Wire will snap without using a wire cutter, and not untwist. Melt a small dab of solder to “fix” the end.

No doubt the cable twist solution was the best. Here is a simple one from me: when I strip down engines I like it to go fast and without clutter so I always have a pile of old ziplock bags handy and bung all the bolts from say a clutch cover in the same bag with this written on it, then on reassembly it saves a lot of time trying to sort what bolts/screws go where plus you dont lose them.

What do you do to keep the order when you just use baggies say on a clutch for example you haven’t worked on before which will have something like a washer, oil pump, cir-clip, work gear, clutch drum, protector place, bla bla bla. I like cable ties as it keeps the order regardless of how I store it.

It’s always best to melt the parent material rather than add on when aiming for longevity, it’s really important the area is spotlessly clean - use carb cleaner and a brush multiple times, also clean the tool you use to push the plastic together when warm.

I'm assuming the engine was a good runner when last turned it off, you've looked at the piston through the plug hole and it is moving freely with no unusual mechanical noise when the crank is turned. On those old side valve engines that don't get used often, as on many tillers, I've seen lumps of carbon build up come loose and get jammed between the top of the piston and the flat area of the cylinder head when the the piston comes up to nearly TDC, especially if they burn a bit of engine oil to create excess carbon deposits. Also check a flywheel magnet hasn't got something stuck on or near it (also behind the flywheel) that jams against the igniton coil or somewhere on crankcase. Look for objects stuck in flywheel fins or down in the bottom of the engine cover. Mice are pretty good at building nests and storing things under engine covers!
