Last year I started a thread to solicit help on getting a couple of my 1200 Quiet lines up and running again. I gave up.

It's warming up now in my area and I worked on one for 4 hrs today. Still cant get it started.

I replaced spark plug. Motorcraft. Cleaned points. pulled carb, some disassembly, cleaned re installed. All new fresh gas. All I got was turn, turn and a couple of single pops. Pulled a carb off another 1200, installed it, almost the same results. Tested spark with a Lisle Spark test tool, got consistent orange flashes. I was stumped.

I put and 3rd carb on. Got a series of pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.....then nothing. Started 1/4 turns on the main jet screw on top of carb, then all I got was no pops but a super LOUD bang! backfire. After the 3rd try and getting big backfire, I peed on the campfire and headed home.

Anyone have any ideas, suggestions? I was going back in the morning and gonna buy a new condenser.

Thank you for ALL replies!
