thats sounds odd. the kick starter only spins one direction... so how is it getting started? anyway the polarity wouldn't do that to it. it most likely wouldnt run at all if it was reversed. back to the starting, how are you starting it? the only thing i can think of is that you may be roll starting it backwards? this is an interesting problem.

Doesnt sound too good.

My question is what MTBE actually does for you and what did it do to the environment that they decided to stop adding it.

that sound like an interesting method, I'll have to try that some time.

I am dealing with a similar problem on mine also. On mine once it is warmed up it looses spark. I tested the coil and found that the secondary winding went bad.... just for the sake of elimination test the coil. Do a resistance check between the positive and negative post (with the terminals disconnected) you should get around 0.28-0.38 Ohms. Then test the secondary by probing the negative post and one of the spark plug wires, then test the other plug wire. The secondary winding should test between 4,700 and 7,100 Ohms. I also tested to see if the coil was recieving the signal by puting a test light on the orange wire and kicking it over with the spark plugs removed. The test light will flash if it has power. Hopefully this helps ya out.

Looks like the o-rings to me, I just replaced mine and it cleared up.

so how do you take payment?

How much for the ignition coil?
