I had my 185s running. It wasn't running all too well, but it was running. So I was thinking back to when I was putting it back together and I realized I had never checked the float height when I put a rebuild kit in the carb. So I slipped the carb off and checked the float and it was accurate.
I decided to check the timing again. This time I set it to the line right to the left of the F instead of centered on the F. Which way is it supposed to be? I put everything back together and started it up. I had it choked all the way and rolled it over to the door of the shop. I went to open the door and when I did the 185s died on me. No problem, I thought. I started pulling on it but it would not start. I kept pulling and pulling, took a break and started pulling again but it would not start. So I decided to check the spark and discoverd that it had no spark at all! I put in a different plug but it had the same result.
This 3-wheeler wants to run but it just keeps teasing me!!! :evil: :evil:
I guess I'll start checking continuity through the spark plug wire and cap. Check the timing again. Check continuity through wires from stator to ignition coil, and other things.
