VHGMC Forums: Hayter 24" motor scythe

   Thanks for your quick thoughts! The fact that it is a bit smokey when running does seem to bear out the 'tired' theory. I managed to get a major 'belt' off the plug lead so ignition doesn't seem to be a problem...

 I will investigate further..

	*Originally posted by marktheherald* My first thought is that I am unable to turn the engine over fast enough with the kick start and a load applied, and maybe this is an issue with the electronic ignition?
