Jerry W. Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I recently rebuilt the engine on my WD9. Starts very hard on gasoline. Starter kicks out as soon as it fires. After many tries it will start and runs fine. Smokes black excessively while cranking engine over. Have had the carburetor apart several times and looks fine. Any ideas welcome.

nate Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Make sure the injection pump is shutting off fuel while on gas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 10-20 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 How close do you have the magneto timed to the timing marks ? The impulse on the magneto should snap at the correct timing mark . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
