Re: Too many problems... Buy a new car?

I tried that and it went for a few turns, then I couldn't turn it anymore with the cord. I think that fourth plug is just shot. I can't tell why or how that cover is free from the engine, I'm sure...

The real problem I have is getting the 4th plug out and figuring out why it chokes when I put any load on the engine.

Re: Too many problems... Buy a new car?
