No , ive seen this video and that’s not what mine sounds like. The top seal on my engine is good. I’ve checked it a couple of ways. I will keep trying to adjust the low speed screw and see if I can dial it in. I really appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share it
Crowley Marine lists two driver coils, one fore rope start and one for electric. When starting it will backfire through the exhaust and if it starts will miss quite a bit both at idle and at higher speed. When it gets warmed up, it will start right away without backfire but will still run...
