Re: wont start

What is the model number? What year?
Pull the plugs. Are they wet? Is your timing correct? If you squirt a little pre-mix in the carb, will it start?

Did you remove the oil tank and mixer on it and bypass it ?? If you didn't, do it !!

Check the spark with an open air gap spark tester set at 7/16".

Check your primer solenoid isnt flooding it out or that your carbs arent flooding.
Do that by checking your primer bulb holds firm with engine off

????????------The 35 HP model has bigger pistons and more displacement.----What else was done to this 25 HP motor ?---Timing generally does not need adjustment on these motors.

Yes Just the key sets timing. I always check it as if the key breaks or the powerpack starts failing timing can go out.
