It had a new plug in it when I took it to shop and they put another new one in it. Does anyone know what the gap should be?
OK thanks ..I will try.. I also use opti2.. Now here's a dumb question. On my auger I says use 25:1 mixture. Opti2 says it's good for all mixtures no matter what the ratio.. Do you mix you opti2 to the proper ratio or just to the ratio opti2 suggests?
believe its .30......Champion CJ6Y...works in mine and all my buddies SM Mag 2000
Maybe a hairline crack in a plastic fuel line elbow.
agreed, I had strikemaster mag 3 given to me that did the same thing and had sat for 7 years. Once I changed the inlet connector (it was cracked so Im thinking after it set for a while it would lose vacuum and let air in fuel line) it would start easier, ran some carb cleaner thru it, new plug and properly adjusted carb and now she fires 1st or 2nd pull.
Those nipples can leak fuel something fierce ...so finding and fixing is EZPZ...but when they just suck air or seep just a little ...you will chase your tail round and round ...new plug...new gas/oil mix...proper/re-gap everything ... checking spark over and over...checking for water in the gas....replacing the gas cap ...spray/rebuild the carburetor ....that little nipple
LOL... this site is awesome, thanks for all the help.
