I have a Tecumseh 6.5 lawnmower engine that was given to me.Suppositly it starts everytime.I replace the spark plug,air filter,fresh fuel and cleaned the coil and flywheel contacts.The carbuerator was to badly corroded to clean so it was replaced.Before nothing now it backfires thru the carb and rips the recoil rope right out of your hand any ideas.
