I will attempt to verify exact model.
This motor has been sat a long time.
The cooling system is now ok.
It's got fresh fuel going in, which already has 2 stroke oil in. It's a VRO engine so it will be adding its own too.
It fires on the button but seems to only run a couple of seconds. I have the fast idle set slightly.
It revs to about 2500rpm and then stops dead. Like the ignition has been cut.
Is this likely to be either too much oil in the fuel? (it is smokey)
Fouled plugs due to above?
Or stuck up carbs?
Or something else?
It's currently running without the gearcase on as I am waiting for the water pump parts to arrive.

Thanks for your help!
