"Use a piece of cut plastic milk bottle to get the space right between the ignition coil and flywheel. The flywheel could be the problem. There's key on the flywheel that shears off and knocks the engine timing off. You have to remove the flywheel…"

Ben Hattersley replied to Ben Hattersley's discussion Pricing for School grounds maintenance
