Since I have the carb off already can I remove the spark plugs and see if they if there is spark when I turn it over?

You could but you have to watch out for gas coming out the line, plug it off well as there will be some pressure from the pump. Or disconnect the line from the tank.

I will try it the morning

When I was reading they said the diodes were there to keep the cylinders from firing each other
But in other info they said it is on the kill wire?
Idk?

I do have an electrical diagram not sure if it shows it or not

I will look for that carb tomorrow.I know it was good when I took it off,the motor threw a rod. LOL
 
Beats the hell out of Ol Mill Doggy ! BARF !!!!! Killians is stihl the best ! :rock:

I did have a couple of cold Killians,..they went down good but lacked whatever Keiths has. I just can`t find anything better than Keiths, even Stella is a ways behind but I can drink Stella all day and hardly get a buzz from it.
 
And yes it's runnin rough and backfiring but doesn't seem like I lost power?

Mowed a lil yesterday after it started acting up and it never bogged
 
Possibly....I have tried to find some solid info on these but lucked out. There repair site is a hoot, their links to any helpful info leads nowhere, always says page not found ...LOL
Can`t even find a schematic for that carb. One site says there is an O ring behind the carb that allows air to enter causing backfire. I hardly think they use an O ring under the carb instead of gasket.

It's unlikely, but possible. I've seen them seal more and more carbs with an O-ring to the intake.
 
Can be. Easiest way to diagnose sometimes is to eliminate the pump and fuel tank. I put them on an "IV Tank" and run them that way. If they run well then, add the pump back to system.. then add the main tank. You will find the problem.
