Re: 24 Chummy wont start hot.

A faulty coil in the magneto will give those symptoms.

Re: 24 Chummy wont start hot.

I would say that it is almost certainly the mag, could you try another that is known to be good.
It might be the condenser in the mag, you could try another externally.
Hope that is helpful !

Re: 24 Chummy wont start hot.

I have a spare mag so will give that a go this evening. This new engine is being a bit of a bugger, I may just plop the old one back in now I've fixed it.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Will - I'd support the suggestion above - if an engine won't re-start after getting overheated, you'll have no success using the choke - I'd suggest it will only make the problem worse. Cheers, Bill
