I did notice after trying different orientations of piston, when I set it to top of shaft seems to run worse or not start at all.
Is there a correct piston position on this engine/model? If so, is that position mostly universal for these small engines?
PS:
I've read through the: "Husqvarna 128LD Will Not Stay Running" thread and gathered it could be the aftermarket spark plug causing the issue since my issue is exactly the same.
