spurdy Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 ok, the shee was running great, then i filled it up with fuel. next thing ya know the left cylinder isnt firing. WTF!? its getting spark on both sides, and the pug isnt fouled. could it be the fuel i used may have been too heavy of mix. any help would be great! Could be a couple of things. Even though the plug looks good it cpould still be the plug. Switch plugs side to side and see where the problem goes or pull the plug out and kick it over while watching for spark on suspect side. If you really do have spark then it is air or fuel. If no spark then it's electrical. Fuel or air problem. Fuel problem could be from the carb or as stated with the reeds not closing and the fuel charge pushing back out. Inspect reeds, clean carbs or swap carbs side to side (stock carbs are different right to left with choke and fuel bowls). Air flow could be clogged filter if running pod filters. Out of sync carbs can cause similar issues. Good luck! SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Try swapping plug wires side to side to eliminate bad wire or plug cap. On my son's I cleaned stator poles, inside of flywheel and timing lugs on outside of flywheel then set pick-up gap to cure one sided miss.
