5. What's the state of your sparkplug if it conks out?

1. Poppet valve set to 'C' facing towards the inlet manifold.
2. The springs that have always been in carby. Can they get worn out?
3. Muffler seems to be ok. I have another Victa 2 stroke for parts and will swap it over to see if that helps.
4. Rings? The jet and the mesh is clear but will give it a quirt of compressed air.
5. Spark plug appears fine. I have spark but will try a new plug anyway. If it was the plug it would expect it to stop completely.
