My neighbors john deere 175, kawasaki 17hp engine usually backfires while starting. We just removed the flywheel and replaced the flywheel key and it still backfires. The carburetor was previously removed and john deere rebuilt it. We never adjusted the carburetor and was wondering if that could be the problem. I'd be interested in any suggestions or comments. Thanks in advance for your help. dave
