Re: motor keeps stoping

Hey Waylon,<br />An internal combusion engine must have three things working in order to operate. Fuel/Air mixture, compression, and spark. If it fires you must have spark. You need to run a compression check & then check your fuel delivery system (everything from the fuel tank through the carb). As far as the water goes.....let's get it to start first. ;) <br />Backlash
