When I remove the spark plugs they are fouled with carbon and wet with gas. Cleaning and reinserting them solves the problem for a while. I have had no success by adjusting the carbuerator. I would appreciate any suggestions for remedying this problem. [Reply]   [No Email]

Clean one plug at a time and try to pin point if it's just one cylinder [Reply]  [No Email]

Look at the number ON THE SPARK PLUG itself. That number will determine heat range of plug. U will need a spark plug book, or internet list to determine how to read the number of the plug and decipher it characteristics. OR tell us the number on the plug and maybe take it from there.

I say take the carb off and clean it thoroughly and rebuild it. [Reply]  [No Email]
