Does it happen when the engine's cold, when it's warm, or both? Tune-up parts and technique suggestions in this thread. Carburetor operation and repair manuals and links to training movies and carb repair/modification threads are posted here for free download. And remember the engine needs periodic valve adjustment. |

I used to have that problem quite often. The tanks at CENEX aren't the best. It might just be some water in the float bowl sloshing around. How often do you run alcohol drier? |

Check your timing with it unplugged and plugged back in. Did the timing move? Try blowing on the hose going to the advance? is it leaking, or hook up a vacuum pump and gauge to verify if the diaphragm is leaking. |
