generator engine wouldn't start Original Message Nov 12, 2013 11:02 am
This is a strange problem. I walked away a year ago now try to work on it again. I am running out of ideas. I have an old Homelite generator using a B&S 243431 10HP engine. It has good compression (75psi) and sparks but wouldn't start. I have a new iginition coil as well. I sprayed the starting fluid into the spark plug still no luck. Not even trying. I see sparks when having the spark plug sitting against the engine block. The only possibility is the sparks are "weak". I can't really tell. Is it possible?
