Hi all,

My motor is a E175GLEIS

When I go to start the engine it will rarely start, and if it does start, it will only run for a second or so before it stalls. If I try to put the pedal to the floor it will often start, but will run like crap, and sounds very muffeled. Once it is started if I let off the gas it dies. The entire time it is running,when I can get it to, it smokes like crazy. I have raw gas and soot coming out of the prop and exhaust ports. The exhaust looks like swamp mud.

Here is a list of all I have done thus far:
- Compression check is good.
- Used an inline spark tester to test all plugs for spark, all have spark.
- Cleaned all carbs, blew out all orifices including the air bleed orifices, jets, and needle valves.
- Fuel pump is new last year, all bowls have gas when it dies.
- Spark plugs (proper Q-type) and Plug wires have one trip on them (so pretty much new).
- Back-washed/cleaned the fuel filter/screen.
- Synced all the carb throtle valves.
- Tried to advancing timing while starting (using the timing advance lever that the throttle linkage advances), this had little to no effect (this is where I started getting really desperate).
- Ohm'ed out the stator, it was good.

I am completely stumped...


Does anyone have any Ideas?

Thanks,
JoCo
