My buddy Jason pulled this almost new looking Powermate Pulse from the trash. The engine rotates, but it sound like rod knock and the engine has very low compression. Will it run or is it really trash?

I no longer use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner. Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NON-CORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors. Recently I have been using Simple Green PRO HD with good results.
