page 27 or 28 I believe. illustration 10-1

First check spark while cranking over( pull the plug wire hold by insulator about a 1/4 inch away from any ground, you should see a strong spark. then check to be sure the fuel is pumping from yhe carb., if no fuel try a short squirt into the carb intake. should fire up if you had spark.Its generally a good idea to put in a new plug and be sure to check the gap.

if you can not find a carburator you may need to find a re-built kit on the internet.

look for a reset button, either on the generator or on the dash with the recepticals. my 5700 has fuses there also

go to McCulloch Home

I would first said that your intake valve is not sealing like it should (burned, warped, etc). But, you have already checked that.

The other reason for a backfire is timing. Could your magneto or keyway be heating up and moving throwing off the timing? And speaking of keyways, how does the woodruff key look? Is it chewed up or distorted?

Sounds like you may have a wire shorting out. Check all ign wires and make sure one hasnt rubbed through. Maybe take off your front cover and make sure something isnt shorting out your coil contacts. Hope this helps

Hi raw 28:

ther gas that was in the carb probably evaporated. you might tryt a little spray starter fluid in the spark plug hole or in the air intake of the carb, This might just get it running long enough to draw gas into the carb and get it self sustaining,

Good luck Loringh
