Re: soft seize?
You said the plug was dry...
Try putting a little premix right in the spark plug hole and see if it fires.
The clicking you heard to day was just your starter relay...cause your battery is dying

Re: soft seize?
the plugs come pregapped, try trafficjamz suggestion, splash a little premix in the sparkplug hole and try starting it sometimes it needs a little help after installation of new parts

Re: soft seize?
Never assume the plug is pre gapped to spec. What if the box got dropped. It could change the gap.always check it before install. There are other motors that use these plugs that have different gap specs.Mystic wrote:the plugs come pregapped, try trafficjamz suggestion, splash a little premix in the sparkplug hole and try starting it sometimes it needs a little help after installation of new parts

Re: soft seize?
So then that's sounds like your having a spark issue. Either timing is off or the spark is weak. Check connections to the coil and clean the terminal. Check tthe coil wire to plug cap. Unscrew the cap and check to see if the wire is burnt. If it is then cutoff the burnt end and screw the cap back on. Also check the green gound wire from the stator that bolts where the starter is. Make sure the bolt is tight or if the wire is not cut. Check the fuse where the battery is at too. Just try to eliminate stuff that might cause it not to have spark. Make sure the spark is strong at every arc. If its strong then soft then strong or just stays soft on the spark then that's why its not starting.iceman77 wrote:Mystic wrote:the plugs come pregapped, try trafficjamz suggestion, splash a little premix in the sparkplug hole and try starting it sometimes it needs a little help after installation of new parts
