Re: dies when put into gear
Hi,<br />1) I would start with to check if it runs on all cylinders (if You get spark on all sparkplugs for example it probably runs on all cylinders).<br /><br />2) Also a compression test can help to determine if any cylinder is in bad shape(worn piston ring etc). If low compression on any cylinder it could be a worn piston ring (or similar).<br /><br />Could be other things, but the above is simple to test.<br /><br />If any cylinder is not firing (nospark) or is bad (worn piston ring etc) that could explain why the engine has no force to give when gear is in forward and engine gets under load.<br /><br />I assume you have checked the fuel line, fuel filter, have new gas, pumped the gasbulb to assist so fuel get to the engine etc. <br /><br />/Bo
