what now ??
YEH that will work!Deluge said:This should help. Just run down the list.A Rough Guide To: Engine Starting Problems
The coil is adjustable but by what you are saying about the gas out the intake side I would be inclined to believe maybe you bent or sheared the flywheel key, if you have a flywheel puller I would pull it and check. If you loosen the coil screws you will see the coil is slotteddieselsubmariner said:ok... i tried the guide with no success.i tried new plugs. noticed on one new plug the spark was less than on an other one. used the good one.. no start.
I pulled the side cover off, checked the ignition coil gap (there is no adjustment on it anyway) and i checked the alignment of the flywheel magnet in relationship to the piston position. seems to be ok, so i do not believe the flywheel came loose.
But here is what i did noticed : im getting fuel out of the airfilter side of the carb. plug does not foul and engine does not seem to be flooded. after trying to start that thing , i noticed quiet a bit of fuel spraying out of the front of the carb - airfilter side.. i have fuel spray up to the battery case
shouldn’t this dern engine suck the fuel in, not blow it out ??? what the heck
anyway, maybe someone has a clue, of what i need to look at next ?
ohh.. i also noticed, that when i pull on the cord, it feels like good compression, but when i hold my finger on the spark plug hole and i pull, it does not realy blow my finger of the hole ??
That's right. You replaced it. What else have you replaced on it?dieselsubmariner said:carb issue ?.... thats what i had initially and that is why i bought a brand new walbro and and a new intake manifold
I recomend to hold the plug against the head, but far away from the hole.delta_kilo said:Take the plug out put the plug wire on the plug (do not have any part of your hand on the medal of the plug) hold the plug by the black plug cap make sure the spark plug tip touches the engine head. Now pull the cord and it'll be very easy to pull with no compression making sure the spark plug stays in contact with the head and look for a small spark. If you see spark your golden. If not change the plug with a new one and try again.Hope this helps.
