started it up, & it kinda pops when it runs, puffs smoke when it does, so I put it in forward & speeded it up ( earmuffs on for water), & it sounded like it wanted to clean up & run smoother, but didn't quite make it.. Would new plugs help? I replaced the plugs last year..
I just replaced the manifold gaskets..
