Well last night in the darkness i observed a few things. while cranking, i do have sparks from the plugs in all 4 cylinders but only when the timing base is in one particulat "sweet spot". i do have a new power pack. I did observe a big spark also underneath the fly wheel (forward and port)the egine only ran for about 2 seconds! any thoughts????<br />Sean

Is this the continuation of another thread?

No answers but lots of questions. Like:<br />Have you had the flywheel off? If so, did you torque it back to specs?

continuation of another thread (maybe should of cont it there)<br /><br />I removed fly wheel and tightened it up but with no torque wrench.

Better to make sure you have not broken the key, so pull the flywheel and check.<br /><br />If it's OK replace, and torque. My opinion 115 ftlb, but I don't have the manual for your motor, so maybe someone will give you the exact #. <br /><br />I would not run the motor again without doing this first.

P.S. An eight pound Frisbee with teeth can be a formidable adversary. Use a torque wrench even if you have to rent one. (My opinion)
