Hello,
I rebuilt my motor and pump, ran the machine and everything worked perfect.
I am trying to isolate a starting problem that has shown up.
If i choke the machine and crank it for 7ish seconds it starts up, but acts like it is running on one cylinder, then shuts of after about 5 seconds. If i pour a little gas in the cylinders it fires right off and runs perfect for a few seconds then shuts off.
So i would say it's a fuel problem, no gas. But it ran perfect yesterday, the filter/seperator is full, the plugs are wet as are the tops of the pistons.
When i get the machine to start without putting gas in the cylinders it runs poorly and shuts down, every time, like it's on a 5 second timer.
I did charge the battery in the machine. Did i damage a module?
If i damaged a module why does it start, perfectly, with gas poured in the plug holes and turn off like a fuel problem?
Would a damaged module allow it to start but time roughly 5 seconds before killing the spark?
The motor rebuild was done correctly, new crank, new pistons. I have done lots of rebuilds and nothing was odd about this one. I thought i had seen, almost, all running problems but this one has me stumped.......
BTW - Charging the battery in the machine was a brain fart, i should have known better....
