Hi Tyler, the test stand saves me having to put a motor on a base, lift it onto the ground, test it lift it back up and remove it again. Still have to bolt the blade carrier (without the blades) on,squirt a bit of fuel down the plug hole,one carby to test them all, motor slips onto stand and held in place with a "G" clamp. Test for spark, check decomp valve and good to go.
MF the only Chinese ones I have had problems with have been straight fueled and that is not their fault. As for kicking backwards, muffler shouldn't be causing that
