I'm thinking fuel because it has new coils and it's dead cold, not starting. I didn't know that about the condensers though. Thanks for the tip.
Question: Could it be the fuel tank? There is gas in the filter and the bulb seems hard, but that's the only change from when it ran and when it...
I know, right? My arm was getting sore. Replaced the rope and rewound the spring and it's working better now. Any thoughts on why it suddenly is dying on me? At first it was idling half-way decently. Pretty sure it's getting spark and fuel.
Punch it? Could you elaborate a bit? I used the shortest insert but this kit had no installation tool. So I put Loctite on the insert and Never Seize on the plug threads. I've yet to try to remove it. I'm a bit worried though, because I tightened the assembly pretty good. More than I would for...
I also bought a kit and yes it was pretty easy. Took me about a half hour, but I was being very cautious.
Now I got another problem that is kicking my butt. I got it started and it ran pretty decent:
While trying to dial in the jets it started sneezing. Eventually I ran out of adj with the...
Thanks for the diagram. It'll come in handy if I end up pulling the head. Current thinking is that would really be asking for more trouble. I see 10 bolts. Bet at least one would snap after all these years.
I ran across a guy, actually he seems to be pretty good with this kind of stuff who says...
I need to borrow some of your pets. We have the world's dumbest cat. If we let him out he probably couldn't find his way back. I miss our outdoor cats.
Today I'm fighting a flock of birds who decided that newly seeded lawn areas are a buffet. I got bird shot too. Could prob take 'em all out...
If it was larger and intended to hang onto it, I'd do it the correct way. A tank though very well may leak, need paint, maybe need treating inside. I'd need more than a few feet of hose, would need the bulb, some fittings. It's just a hella lot easier to use the single line tank I already got...
One time I tapped out an oil pan on a Kawasaki when the plug stripped out. I used grease to catch the shavings. Guess this would be kind of like that? Think I'd rather remove the head if it's just a few bolts. Can I reuse the gasket?
I looked for a pressure tank and found only one and I'd have...
Is that easier and cheaper than replacing the head? Guess I'm going to need a new gasket if I pull the head? If I want to replace the head must it come off a similar vintage 10HP?
Well she started up on the 4th pull. Not too bad. Seemed to run OK at first, then started sneezing. Tried to adj it out, but ran out of room on the knob. Took the linkage off so could adjust the actual jet and now it just doesn't want to idle no matter what and it seems down on power. After a...
Thanks for all the ideas! Some I've tried, some are questionable, like others stated. I've used mothballs to get coons out of my fireplace before I put a cap on it. Yet whatever is doing the damage tolerates them. My cuz used to swear by dryer sheets until one winter his Z28 got all messed up...
So a couple weeks ago, was wanting to get my Crestliner ready for the season. Threw back the cover and find the inside is damaged again. Seat munched on. Foam from the bilge all over the place. New bilge pump is now UNinstalled. Crap. Second year in a row. Funny, nothing messes with my tinnies...
Thanks for the tip and I'm sure you're right. I've seen that before. Pretty sure no arrow on this one. Think it's actually hongkongphooey brand. Same as last one I bought which worked fine. Sure hope it's on right. Guess I'll know if no gas comes out.
