Kennedy Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Mine did this, turned out to be some moisture in the spark plugs.Took the spark plugs out and dried it all, worked fine after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 misfires if they just suddenly start... change the plugs, dizzy & rotorarm, ht leads... in that order. if still missing get it into a garage! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G4V1N Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 thanks mate, thats really helpful. also i was wondering would misfire also cause smoke problem from the exhaust? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
