To recap the situation: I bought a new single speed Tecumseh generator engine from Surplus Center and put it in my 18" planer. It ran rough and surged at first and I had to keep the choke on to keep it running. Some folks on here suggested Sea Foam and higher octane gas, and it ran better for a little while. Now it sounds like it is backfiring and it shoots a 2+inch long blue flame out of the exhaust with every pop it makes. It will pop three or four times in a row, then run smoothly for a few seconds, then pop some more. I am not sure what to check next, I understand that the timing is maintained by a key so I think that is maybe not likely the problem. It still seems to like to have the choke on a little bit, so I am wondering if it is still a fuel problem. Any advice will be much appreciated. Zach
