Wet = fuel Spark, take a spark plug out... connect it to the spark plug wire.. .and turn the engine over while someone holds it.... look for a spark... or just hold it _____________________________ These cranks are made for walkin'''', and thats just what they''''ll do, one of these days these cranks are gonna walk all over you (in reply to gm12111) Post #: 5
