do you have spark

 

I'm pretty sure I do, but I need to get a spark tester and a compression tester. It did this to me a few days before it broke down. It was a PITA to start and then it just fired up and ran great for days.

 

you can test the spark by holding the spark plug next to the head and turning the motor over. then put your finger over the spark plug hole to give you an idea with compression while turning the motor over

 

So I pull the spark plug and keep the spark plug wire attatched. Then I out it near the head while turning it over. What am I looking for? Sparks I would guess?

 

lol exactly,

 

if you have spark you will see spark off the electrode bouncing around lol

 

Or feel it.......Make sure you don't touch the steel!!!!!!! keep you hand on the wire!!!!!!!!
...........Caper.........

 

theres a good thing about touching the plug, you will know if you have spark,lol theres a bad thing to,it will sure make you jump lol

 

it sounds like its not geting spark if hes geting gas on the plug he has compresson at lest i think he would? or a seanoud might be bad? can u get a truck or a 4x4 at the top of the hill if so0o put a rope on it and pull it up the hill that way

 

I hope it's just a spark issue. I've been worried that it is a compression problem. I ca't get a truck back to where it is, plud that would have to be a long rope lol. I'll give the spark plug a test next time I'm out there. We are getting 5" of rain today and tomorrow, so I don't think I'll be out there for the next few days.
