I have a 35 KTA that has always run well til today. Last week I noticed it was slinging water at the shaft coming off the water pump to run the magneto. I tightened nut around shaft as per manual. Water problem solved and no obvious problems.
Today I ran it to check out before parade next week and it ran good at various throttle settings for about a mile then started popping and missing at full throttle. Backed of throttle and it settled down.
Drove it back to barn and it started to do the same thing at half throttle. Parked it and left it running but it died.
Checked fuel and seems OK. White smoke and rough on restart but it did smooth out. Then started popping and sputtering again.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks, Ed
