October 31, 201410 yr Moderator 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?
October 31, 201410 yr Moderator The engine was filled with fuel when the carb overlow was blocked by the way...when it was pissing out of the carb vent!
October 31, 201410 yr Moderator Right, get it dried out and leave it to evaporate...tomorrows another day
October 31, 201410 yr Author 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.
October 31, 201410 yr Author 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.

October 31, 201410 yr Author 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.
October 31, 201410 yr Moderator leave the plug out overnight, forget about it for now...go trick-or-treating or something
October 31, 201410 yr Author Lol I'm a little too old for that. I guess I could find out what that knocking noise is on my Shee
October 31, 201410 yr Author 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.
October 31, 201410 yr Author 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.
October 31, 201410 yr Moderator You only tell half a tale, you took the flywheel off but you didnt say you put it back on...did you? wont spark without it!
October 31, 201410 yr Author 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
October 31, 201410 yr Author 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!
