It never worked well. It seemed to go to 3 cylinders from time to time. At the time, the minimum wasn't right. One day, after half an hour's drive, I stopped. Turning it back on I gave it a bit of gas thoroughly because it didn't seem to fit. It made a bang and then a metallic noise and exploded. Then it didn't turn on anymore

Hi,

When you say exploded, do you mean some parts came apart? Also, when you try starting it, does the starter engage and turn the engine or do you hear a click and nothing more?

If you only hear a click, using a breaker bar and socket on the crankshaft pulley, see if you are able to turn the engine manually.

Let me know what you find.

Joe
