Re: Backfire, then no start
Yeah, I just had the points and pick up coils replaced before I left for Florida. If it is sheared, will that be expensive to fix? If not, I'm going to take it somewhere else. And to think I didn't want to take off the flywheel for fear of not getting it on tight enough. I'm in a campground on the Suwannee River, and this has caused me to miss the last 2 days of boating. A plastic retaining pin that connected the cam follower to the throttle advance failed on the first day. Luckily I could get home by removing the cover and slipping it on when it fell off. A parts guy gave me the piece free. I just bought this motor off e-bay and already have $900 in it. I had to replace the drive shaft and re-seal the lower unit. If I could have gotten a unit this light, I would have bought new.
