    I did check spark with a in line spark tester. I get spark from idle to high speed. (I put a drill on it to spin it ). Also, I looked but did not see any shorting of the spark plug wires. The other motor does the same thing but has a prop on it. Remember, we got 3. I did not check compression so that is my next step. Then I guess it is on to swapping parts with the known good motor.

    Oh…forgot to answer the question about the gas tank. It is just a gravity feed. No pump, no bulb. It has a good enough flow to run my 10HP. Do you think it is not getting enough fuel because of the “loop”?

    Stand by ……
