Good chance that you "threw" the connecting rod. *If it didn't punch a

readily repaired.

Easy check: take the spark plug out, turn it over (by hand). *If you

I will do that. It did kind of make a "clanking" sound. It also put
out some white smoke. After it died, I checked the oil and it was bone
dry. (I know i am an idiot).
