FG wont fire
My FG only run 3x won't start?? The last time out I rounded the pinion and shut it off and brought it home and cleaned it, today I get my box of goodies (MT tires and new pinion, etc) I get my truck all back together and all excited to try out my new tires choke it like normal and pull 3x nothing it usually fires right off (like my boats) so I pull the plug it looks wet get another plug and try that still nothing then I realize my kill switch is stuck in no biggie I got a spare off a SIKK motor throw it in pull pull pull pull NOTHING 
Now I am beating myself trying to get it going, I check spark got it, fuel got it, switch plugs yep, heat the plug with a torch yep, I even had a couple spare carbs lying around I tried to no avail. Any idea's before I tear into this little monster??

RE: FG wont fire
return your carb back to factory settings both screws all the way in then about 3 turns out then adjust untill she fires up and runs properly also she maybe flooded take the plug out and pull the pullstart couple of times get rid of any excess fuel

RE: FG wont fire
I got it going last night but don't know what it was that made it run, I took the top end apart and saw no scratches,broken ring, nothing put it back together, cleaned the bottom of the coil, cleaned the flywheel, cleaned carb, WE HAVE LIFTOFF
I was afraid with the way my luck has been as of late that the piston and jug would have been destroyed and metal would have made it's way into the bottom end ruining the bearings rendering my engine useless[X(]
