I recently reworked and replaced almost my entire cooling system on my AQ125/270. Prior to working on it, the engine fired up and ran like a dream. Now, I get a puff of smoke from the exhaust, and the carb, every once and a while during cranking and the engine won't start. The last thing I did was add coolant behind the thermostat and fill the reservoir. I'm wondering if coolant being added may have pushed up somewhere it shouldn't have? The distributor system is new and in good shape. I am still learning how to work on these things so any ideas are greatly appreciated!

I figured it out, the wires were in the wrong order in the distributor
