yeah the black wire wasnt clamped on properly after the last time i took it off and when the mower was reving the wire was shaking around and hitting the metal giving it no spark.

it only blew black smoke after the first time i started it for the first 5-10 seconds, now its fine with no more black smoke and when its cold starts in 2-3 strong pulls (wih 3 primes) then when its warmed up just takes a soft first pull(no priming).

grumpy u are right between the turtle and the rabbit on the throttle it revs like crazy but if i put it on full(rabbit) it revs normal and if i put it near the turtle it idles away. but in between it revs liek its going to blow up lol,
