i have a 1979(i think) scrambler that i got 2 weeks ago in a trade
the guy said the carb would need to be cleaned out so i cleaned it out pretty good. but, i cant get it to start. i hooked up 2 lawnmower batteries in parallel but i'm not sure if that in enough amps to get it going. i also noticed at one point while cranking it tht the starter wire where it connects to the starter motor started smoking.
i think the carb needs an oring for the float needle.
its a 16hp kohler, at least thats what i was told
should i get this one going or get a newer but used engine?
