I have a friend who emailed me the following....
"I have a perplexing problem with the 440. I could not get it to run well, or at all mostly. It even got so I couldn't pull the starter on occasion but if I waited then I could pull. I dragged it into the shop Sat. a.m., let it warm up overnight & worked on it on Sunday.
The muffler had gas in it - lots of it. Drained the crank cases - both were full of gas. Checked the plugs, good spark, and tried again. Still didn't run.
Tried not choking it and holding the throttle wide open since it is jetted for -30 but sitting in the warm shop. It fired up first pull and revved up well but still didn't sound right and the exhaust temp gauge said the right cylinder was not firing. I took it out and drove it a short way then back to the shop. The right crank case had more gas in it.
Any thoughts on what is wrong? "
Anybody on here had this type of problem before?
