These engines run well at 1800 to 2000. July 19, 2015 at 1:26 am #37965 Bob RooksParticipant Offline Screw it in until it touches the flywheel and then back it out 3/4 turn and lock it. If you didn't do that I'm surprised you got any reading at all. Why did you replace it if the old one was working? Account deleted.

I misunderstood your post I guess. Account deleted.
