Well we have great news. 1st pull back fire, 2nd pull started right up. I have never had a small engine start that easily. :biggrin:
After that it starts on the first pull. Less than a pull to be honest.
I am seeing 127.1 to 127.3 volts on the 110 circuit. I will have to see if it dips when a load is put on it later. It looks the the magnets are good in the generator side.
Thank you for your help getting this started. It did feel good to see it kick over after fighting with it for a few days.
The perfectionist side of me hates that now unused kill wire just hanging there. Based upon your statement I guess it is to shut down a runaway engine. Anything you could tell me to look at for maybe getting that part up and going too? I know we don't 'need' it, but some how it would round out this project nicely.
Another question. How important is it to replace the gaskets between the carb and engine? These have seen better days, but they seem to be working ok.
For someone who has not done anything more than change a spark plug I am quite happy with the outcome, and would like to thank KennyV for his help :thumbsup:.
I now have enough knowledge to be dangerous. Wahhaahhaaa...
