Re: broke reed?

Tilt it up and prime bulb, is it leaking from carb now?
50/1 would be fine
Its flooding or you have intermittent spark

I tilted it back and primed it and i did not see and drips.The eletronices and everything was replaced 2 years ago.It was caught on fire.Im to the point where i think the oil is old or cheep.I put synthetic in it the first time i went out and it was not good.And their may be a little bit left in it still but the other oil is pretty old and was cheep looking.It was gave to me so i used it.It seems like it is just oil on the plug not gas.

Re: broke reed?

Try fresh fuel .
Make sure your choke isnt shorting and coming on unintentionally
Failing that and compressions ok, put a timing light on it and check for consistency/
Im assuming you are sure its not water getting on the plugs

Re: broke reed?

take a look at your fuel pump diaphram, hold it up to light.
