Update again....

So got everything buttoned up

Carb on


All plumped



Air cleaner on



So then dad tells me to get in. Awesome right? It was pretty sweet. My dads throwing gravel and making the tires. It was pretty fun! Then the throttle sticks open .... My dad gooeses it and it does slow down so you throws it in nutral and turns it off. Get out and one of the throttle return springs has come off so we get on and start heading home. We're almost home my dad turns to me says Does the fuel gauge work? Tell him I thought so but I didn't know for sure. Right as we get in front of the house it dies lol so we coast into the drive way. I grab the truck and get a few gallons of gas.

Now starts the crappy part.

So I put new gas in and start her. She takes a bit but I get her going then I roll up the drive way and dies. Go to start again and it won't run. She cranks and shakes and sputters. So my dad comes out and try's it. It back fires! Scared to crap out off me....so we think it's timing so we retard it a tiny bit and it backfires through the carb in a big white cloud! What the heck?! So we advance it a bit and it back fires through the rear again. So my dad gives it one last try and.......BOOM! Black smoke comes out from underneath and she's roaring. I about pooped myself.......literally. I look underneath to find this


So it won't run right, my dad and I push it to the garage....driveways up hill a little bit. We check plugs and wires. Found one bad spot in one wire but that's it. We're kinda stumped. Maybe one of you my experienced guys know something. I'm just getting frustrated and irritated.

Thanks
