Put the gas in first thing, that way if there are any leakes that show up while you put the water in, you will find them before sparks or the fan blows the gas around. I would just go over all connections as a double check on fuel and electrical. Look over things like the fan belt and make sure nothing is in there like a rag that the fan can grab. make sure all the tools are out of the way. Kind of do an over all check of things like you would when pulling the red flags off an aircraft. If you want to check spark just hook up an old spark plug to one of the plug wires and set it where the base of the plug will be grounded and watch it as it cranks, but I wouldn"t worry so much about that unless the engine doesn"t start after a few cranks.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
