Or are you just turning the motor over while trying to start it and what you hear is the motor turning and not a backfire? |

whenever i would let the clutch lever out the motor would turn over like its supose to then it would spit and sputter going down the street, jumping around a lot. then it sounded like a back fire and would start spit and sputter again. |

Okay now that you described it in that way...do you have another spark plug to swap out? Lets eliminate the possibility of a fouled spark plug |

Be sure to use the tickler (primer) and choke. If thats not it you want to check to be sure you do not have any vacuum leaks.
I've got to go...I will try to check back tonight  |

i tried to use my new spark plug but the thing is so darn tight in the motor it striped the tool that comes with the kit and i dont have a deep well socket. but it was firing, just really porely, do spark plugs, when going bad, only fire half of the time? or is it one way or another, they work or they dont? | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
