there really aint much that i can do to check the timing now. you know what sucked the most is that when i got the fire extingisher it shot the stuff out for 1 second and stoped and the fire kept going.

That stuff is a bitch to get out too! You will be finding that stuff months down the road!

i pulled the carb apart again and everything on there looks good im going to get some carb cleaner and start all over again and see what happens, i tried to do the acc pump mod and i think that i didnt use the right type of material for the gasket maker, i used the green paper kind. im lucky that my wiring harness isnt fired and it was only a few little things!

im not sure on the brand but it was the one from discount auto. im pretty sure that the leaking was coming from the acc pump when i tried to make new gaskets out of the thick green paper gasket maker!im going to get the rubber compound gasket maker and ty it agian! i was getting scared for a few minutes while i the fire was going bc it was right under my fuel lines i pulled them off and moved them so the fire wouldnt spred to the tank

i been 7less for about 3 months now! well i have one now but she doesnt run!
