    Popping and shaking

    update - I took the thermostat cover off the other day and realized that the previous owner had removed the thermostat. He obviously knew more than the engineers who built the thing. I bought a new thermostat and gasket, replaced both. I have adjusted the idle and mixture screws to what sounds...

    Popping and shaking

    I installed an ignition button, battery, and fixed the wiring on the motor. New marine cranking battery and she fires right up. I got the multimeter and ignition coil seems to be working fine. I think the leads from the ignition coil to the plugs could be replaced because they are all torn up...

    2001 25hp Nissan NS25C3 - Trouble Starting

    Alright gents - I have an update I put the carb back on and tried to pull start it again. It will start a tad bit easier -- 5-10 well timed and primed pulls. I also swapped the fuel hose and bulb for a new higher quality set. That wasn't good enough for me. I noticed the engine had an...

    Popping and shaking

    Makes sense. Reason I haven’t yet is because there is no ignition button. I’ll do that this week. Could I use a deep cycle battery? I’ve got an extra one laying around.

    Popping and shaking

    Thanks for the heads up I’ll be careful. After a quick overview of the manual I can’t find a stator, it seems my engine uses a magneto. Or are they the same thing? Thanks for your patience

    Popping and shaking

    I have not checked. No battery on it right now just using the pull starter. Any links to a good resource to learn how to check stator, regulator, and coils?

    2001 25hp Nissan NS25C3 - Trouble Starting

    Fuel to Oil mix is 50:1 I’m guessing maybe it’s running rich. Where I get confused is on another thread posted by me the gents think I have a lean sneeze going on. If anyone can provide a bit of clarity that would help. I hesitate to think I’m running lean especially after checking the plugs.

    2001 25hp Nissan NS25C3 - Trouble Starting

    Finished cleaning up the carb today -- that thing is squeaky clean. Raining here today I'll put it back on tomorrow and give it a go. Yesterday I checked the spark plugs that I installed 10 days ago and I noticed they are already fouling. I have attached some pictures -- any ideas why they...

    2001 25hp Nissan NS25C3 - Trouble Starting

    Yes pumping the bulb does get the bulb hard. The float/adjustment could be the issue. How can I check to make sure I am getting the proper adjustment/seeing if the needle is seating right. I tore the carb off again and have stripped it down. Cleaned with spray cleaner and now I am letting it...
