Re: ignition coil

the only coil i ever saw backfire was when i fired it back at the dork who said it was a marine coil..other than that, a coil shouldn't cause a backfire........timing could

Re: ignition coil

backfiring through the carb?<br />>lean condition (fuel starvation)<br />>advanced timing<br />>reed valve issue<br />

Re: ignition coil

is the reed valve in the middle of the carb? i said before in a few posts back the gas was around two years old. i ran around a half out .i put new in.<br />it seemed to be getting better.then one day it was really running bad. never backfired<br />before till now!put all new gaskets on the carb also.the shop i took it to a few months ago put cap,plugs and points on it.i got this boat a few months ago.
