Reply To: What am I doing wrong guys?

Thanks guys. It was running very good before this. Idled down just before the stop setting smoothly. Problem was, it wasn’t starting the best. Several pulls and a little hard to get going at first. But not like this.One coil was cracked pretty bad and the other not very strong. So I decided to replace both and do the other items as well.

I have not checked compression but will now that I have a gauge to do so. I had disassembled the carb a second time after this issue and when I backed out the low speed needle, some packing did come out. It was really tough to get the packing in there when I cleaned and rebuilt the carb. I put two packing rings in followed by a nylon washer before screwing in the nut. That seemed like the hardest part of working on the carb. Perhaps that could be an issue too. Some of that may be coming out and getting clogged in the carb.
