One week passed and a long-awaited weekend came. I changed the engine oil , Put the oil from the sparkplug holes and rotate the crank by hand , Tighten the idle adjust screws to the end and return 1 turn , At last I turned on the ignition praying the moment of the engine starting.  After hearing the sound that the electric fuel pump sending the fuel , I pushed the gas pedal a few times then turned on the key … VROOOOOOOOM!!!!!
