So I started to remove the coil to see the model number and it looks as though the stripped wire wasn’t attached to anything. The plug was attached to the coil but I removed it for the photo. Also, the wires on the coil seem fine or are they busted. Where should the stripped wire go. And there...

Well I watched the video and from what I've read around, won't the pressure the second wrench is applying on the flywheel eventually damage the flywheel. I'm just asking cause I don't want a blown up flywheel

I removed the flywheel by loosening the nut with a wrench and hammer. How would I re torque the flywheel cause it’s not a nut

Yeah, the last time my engine didn’t start my dad told me to clean out the carb. This time it was the gasket that broke and the fact that the seal was non existent

So I did as mckutzy recommended with the cereal box and printed out a template and cut it out. I made sure to have the little hole in there and used a drill to make sure it’d be there. Installed it and it started second pull. Thanks. Also, what does that little hole do out of curiousity.

Well the entire assembly was bent on the studs. The stock airbox was also damaged so I bought a performance one to replace it. The stock insulator plate was cracked and I didn't really check how it should be assembled I didn't know it even existed after I removed the broken insulator plate. So...

So if I didn’t order the gasket for the spacer, can I buy rtv or is the gasket necessary

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to get photos since I had disassembled the entire intake side but it looked like the gasket wasn’t making contact and the mounting bolts were bent. I got new mounting bolts and a new gasket and well turns out there’s supposed to be this spacer that goes in between it...

I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to get 50 easily. I have a gx160 with a 12:56 on 15 inch tires and that gets me 40 easily. You’re gonna have bigger tires and a much more powerful motor. The issue however is that if you crash you’re gonna be happy you’re alive. I’ve never driven a quad but from...

I think I’ll try buying a new spark plug since magnetrons are quite expensive and for me, it’s not worth spending money on an engine that doesn’t make that much power.

It has a magnetron. And I would also trade for an 8hp because more power, but I am not located in your state.

yeah. sorry for the title, should've put something better. But to answer Hellion's question, I did use the recoil starter to try and check for spark. If there is a way to change the title, I can do it but I don't know how

Well my neighbor was getting rid of some stuff and I got a free lawnmower. It has a briggs 3.5hp engine on it and it’s a horizontal shaft engine. I tried it out and it won’t run. The engine won’t spark since that’s the first thing I checked after looking at some stuff online. Anyways, here are...

I think I figured it out, it seems as though the bolts that hold the carburetor have bent which removed the seal from the carb to the actual intake inside the head. How would I fix this

So I took the plug out and it sparks and there wasn’t any oil in the cylinder. The engine still won’t start. I’ve removed the low oil sensor so it’s not that.
