So I got her to run.. got spark.. but I took her around my yard for a spin.. she DIED fowled out the plugs in like a matter of 5 minutes.. I cleaned the plugs up a bit... she still wont start back up again. I get spark. but no firing.... maybe my carbs arent as finely tuned as I thought they were??? maybe I messed with them the end of the season thinking that was the prob.. idk.. give me some more pointers if you dont mind....

Chokes are stuck open, or spark is weak.

OK so this formula plus keeps geting better and better.. I think theres something wrong with the carbs..
I pulled the exhaust off to fix the Recoil that broke. and the air box. and pulled to make sure the recoil was good b4 i put it all back together and GAS dumped out of my pipe and out of the header every time i pull the cord. so i took the spark plugs out and its like a damn GEISER when I pull. what the heck is going on with this thing...? does it just need the carbs re-tuned or do i have something much more serious going on?????

make sure your choke plungers are not stuck open, take your carbs apart and make sure the float is correct, the needle is good ect. clean them all up, adjust them and sync them, get all the fuel out of it and try again.

this may sound dumb but if you took ur carb apart, i dontknow what carbs that sled uses. but if the bowl doesnt have a certain shape to it, and can be put on backwards, that will cause the crb to keep filling with gas, and it will soak ur engine and exhaust
