Yes. It isn't overflowing anymore after messing around with the float and putting in the new needle.

I'm asking if it's capable of overflowing...not blocked with anything?

I'm going to try kicking with without the plug to see if anything is there. I will have to get a new flywheel cover gasket.

Ok thanks. I took the plug out and nothing so I will keep the plug out anyways. Turns out that the plug was a few threads off from being tight so no wonder why it was easy to kick over.

Thats not good, hope you havent bust the piston?

I just put the plug in and its harder again so it was just the plug being loose. Either that or my imagination. I can comp test it again. Also I am in Michigan and it is almost 4pm so maybe wait until 8? I accidentally left the gas on between that time we didn't talk and no gas in the bottom end.

Lol I'm a little too old for that. I guess I could find out what that knocking noise is on my Shee

So I got impatient and tried to see what else is up so I took the flywheel off and sprayed it all down with pressurized air from a compressor. I then put the plug on the plug boot, grounded the plug to a fin on the head and kicked it to see if I had spark and it turns out I don't. I tried my new NGK and the old ND plug both without spark. I have the flywheel case off and I saw spark within the stator. Is that stator supposed to spark and should I try another new plug? The NGK had some fuel but I blew into it and got the gas out.

The spark was inside the flywheel yeh ? is yours a points model,?

Never mind the spark must've been a figment of my imagination

Sorry I'm a moron. There are two different sized screws holding the stator one, one screw popped out and it has a wire with an eyelid on it. That must explain the sparking and why there is no spark. I will check in a moment.

Yeah I did. I know about the flywheel (I did timing advancement on my Banshee). I am putting it back on really quick and I all kick over to see if there is spark

Spark has been found! After putting the screw in it still sparked at the stator. I took it all out and cleaned it with paper towel and a good strong blue spark! Before I would have to kick hard for it spark blue once and it would just come and go in a split second. Now it sparks the entire time the crank if moving so I think I fixed a problem!
