Hi, this is what I did wrong ( Do not remove the adjusting screw. The adjusting screw does not attach the points to the stator plate and should not be removed. The adjusting screw is the screw that is smaller and farthest from the crankshaft and fits within an elongated slot in the points.)...
I was reading that you should never start it out of water.It ran for a few minutes 2-3, or less .Do you think it may have damaged it ?The guy was a mechanic (car)he said he didnt know anything about 2 stroke engines and now I'm sure he didn't.Thanks for any replies.
