Spark: Check the spark? Since you have the plug out already, put the wire back on it, and ground it against the frame or the cylinder. Pull the pullstart - what color is the spark? Blue-white, or orange? Blue-white is good, orange is okay, not great - means you may need a new coil, or at least an adjustment. Take the pullstart off - underneath is your coil and your flywheel. Your coil should be a business cadr's thickness away from the flywheel. If not, loosen the bolts, and readjust.
That's about all I can think of rght now ... good luck. |
