Well......unless I had 2 seperate problems...it wasn't the coil!
Put the new one on this weekend and the thing wouldn't run for more than about 20 seconds without dying. Went nuts looking stuff over. Almost pulled the valve covers to check adjustment. Instead I pulled the carb back off and tore it apart. Sure enough there was all kinds of lint material in the seat. Cleaned it out and put it all back together.....ran like a champ for an hour. Then it died and wouldn't restart. Pulled air cleaner and it was literall spitting gas out the carb when I cranked.
Pulled carb apart again and found a nice little chip of metal or stone in the needle seat area again. Cleaned even better and reassembled......running great again.
So needless to say I'm not super happy with the shop that did the rebuild for me. Only reason I had them do it was because I'm so busy and didn't want to spend the time. Well I spent much more time trying to fix their half azz job! And when I called him about it he blamed it on my tank or fuel line. Well the line was new with the rebuilt carb...and my tank is plastic so there shouldn't be sediment in it really.....plus there's a filter.
