I've seen that. They run on 2 cylinders, the bottom 2 on the timer. The time I was following the culprit there was a loud backfire.

"For want of a nail, a shoe was lost . . . " :lol:

Easy fix though ! No wonder wise heads say "Check the timer first !"

Good catch, also easy to put together backwards,after repair or during installation. Ah the wonderful timer....
