I've had one for years. It is an invaluable tool.

Outstanding !!

Is this a great forum or what !

Amen brother - even if the response did digress into TMI.

A quick internet search would lead one to believe that this is a proprietary engine.

And therefore, parts have been spoken for, Niels gets them.

Wooden like to sit on it for very long right now.

I go back and forth from near Pensacola to near Quitman Ga. about every two weeks. I'd be glad to pack this stuff up and bring it. Maybe I can save you a trip.

I've used one of the rubber tipped testers for over 40 years. They are the least expensive testers and will do a fine job for you. The only problem is that you have to round up a buddy or family member to help you. One person will crank the engine and hold the throttle open while the helper has...

As noted, an overly rich mixture is the cause of the poor running. It would be like running (or trying to) on full choke. The black smoke is the giveaway, I think you've got an intermittent fuel flow problem. Wire brushing a plug rarely does much good. For a seriously fouled plug you must clean...
