Thanks, I'm thinking the off shore coil is not up to the task. I guess it wouldn't hurt to check the choke adjustments.

as long as your getting spark the coil is working - but wear over time my be causing a bit of a miss if the gaps in the magnets are opening up a bit that feed the timing for the spark - that could be hard to rectify or you could be flooding a bit - not too many things to cause the problem but age and wear - maybe a new plug would help

Fuel filter? You said before it ran fine then quit all of a sudden. Maybe a clog/ partial clog.

Installed the new coil yesterday afternoon, blower fired up on one pull. The original "made in Germany" coil survived almost 20 years, lets see how long the replacement goes for. Thankfully it's up and running just in time for the Snowmageddon we are expecting.

just saw this post - 20 years wow that's almost old enough to have points...lol - if it was running a bit rough at idle I would think bad fuel or flooding a bit - maybe need to clean the needle and seat on the carb if it dried out over the summer months...could be just a little worn out too!

Sorry to hear that ZR, I was at Emerg yesterday night as my Grandpa also suffered multiple strokes yesterday. Crazy how fast it can all change in an instant.
