hi fella's
i havent had a chance to try these suggestions but tonight when i was walking past it i decided to put some fuel in the cylinder as you suggested Grumpy and this time it started on the 2 - 3 pull... it ran long enough to burn up that fuel the stopped.. i was excited so tried it again and couldnt get it to fire. maybe flooded then..
What does this indicate ??? while the plug was out i put my thumb over the plug hole and pushed down hard while i pulled the started and it had enough pressure to force past my thumb (i know that is a crude way of testing and there is no way of know what pressure is there but i was pushing down hard and it forced past my thumb so i at least know it has some compression)
Anyway grumpy, what does the fuel in the test tell you??
