It is on a Bad Boy ZTM, 2007 year but only 442 hrs. Has set for a few years.
Replaced the old carburetor.
Problem 1:
Will only start if I squirt a little gas in the air intake. Then it starts fine and runs good and will restart..Choke? Fuel pump or hoses ?
Problem 2:
After the motor gets hot it begins to backfire and run rough. I don't know if the plugs have ever been changed. Coil?
What type plug is best? The guy that serviced it in the past is out of business. If I add gas it stops backfiring for a while (maybe it just cooled down a little?)
Problem 3:
A mouse built a nest under the engine cover. I took it off and cleaned it as best I could, but it smells very hot after running a while. So, can I clean this engine with engine gunk cleaner spray, then wash it off with a hose, or is that a no no?
