I have a 1977 craftsman generator with a Tecumseh Model#HM100159017A. Had it running after I bought it a month ago and have since put a new carb kit in and replaced the spark plug to get it running better.
Now, the only way I can get it started is to put some gas in the spark plug hole and then fine tune with the carb screws to keep it running, if it starts at all:confused2:. It runs really rough, will backfire like the timing is off when trying to start it and has gas running out of the choke behind the air filter (another issue) any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated, thanks- Matt
