Re: New here, whats the key to getting help?
Start your new thread with a brief but clear title which identifies the problem. In the body of your first post, state the engine manufacturer (make sure you post in the right category), the year and the HP rating. If you don't know the year exactly, post the model number.
Provide an easily understood description of the problem that you are having, including all of the symptoms that you are experiencing. If the problem is related to poor power development, doing a compression test on the motor before posting is a good idea simply because that is one of the most important barometers of engine health.
I think you will find folks here to be very knowledgeable and very helpful.
