ok today it is like 19 degrees out and i started the 7 up to go to the store it was kinda hard starting but i thought it was because it was cold out on my way it started to run like **** and had a manjor lack of power so i turned arround and it quit and i almost thought i heard something dragging so i look and there is a fire coming out the end of the pipe any ideas or is it dead?

A sure way to tell if its dead is to compression test it.That wouldn't explain the fire tho.That has me baffled. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

Yeah, all newbies listen up, first thing you do with engine troubles is a compression test.



If you have fire from your exhaust port, your getting way to much unburt fuel in there meaning your rotors aren't burning it.
