[QUOTE="CMOS, post: 399179, member: 15462"] Good news and bad news. I did find a poor ground on one of my coils - no spark. Have good spark on both now. Motor did start but dies within seconds as if starving for fuel. Tried to adjust the low speed screw on both sides of carb rebuild setiing when all of the sudden - the **** pull cord would not retract. Yep, the end of the spring has pulled into the cup again, further damaging the slot. I think my pull cord may have been too short. :( So, I need to dismantle the recoil starter again and see what's been damaged, and get a proper length of cord. The motor starving symptom will have to wait. . . . CMOS [/QUOTE]
