It worked really god one day, then then next weekend started well but <br />there was no to little power, It normally runs about 5500 rpm. this past weekend it ran about 2200 to 2500rpm.<br />when I got home it would not start. alot of back firing. I have cleaned the carbs, plugs. fuel filter.<br />when I look at the plugs after I have tried to start it the plugs look wet and smell like gas.<br />Is there ant one that can help please help.<br /><br />thanks 81glastron.

Re: no fire

Howdy, Glastron.<br /><br />You are probably runnning on 2 cylinders. <br /><br />What happens if you pump the primer while running?<br /><br />Do you have a hot, blue spark on all cylinders?<br /><br />Let us know.

Re: no fire

Hi there. I do not have any spark at the plugs. I did have trouble before. Running on 2 cyclinder<br />on the left side. I did fix that problem. It ran good until this past weekend. The motor does not get hot and good water flow. When I primer the bulb it gets tight/firm. Does this help<br /><br />81 Glastron

Re: no fire

Glastron,<br />If you read this forum long enough, you will notice a recurring suggestion for all electrical problems. "Get a manual for your motor!" It's the best $30 you'll ever invest. The best $7 you'll ever invest is for a can of Deep Creep decarboning foam. Trust me. It's the best mechanic-in-a-bottle product I've ever used and there are lots of people here that will confirm!<br /><br />Your motor does have a power pack. They usually only fry if you hook the battery up backwards, but sometimes they will die for no apparent reason. It requires a special testing tool to properly test. Someone is offering the correct multimeter for sale on this forum.
