Here is what I did today.

I confirmed nice blue spark on each plug as well as TDC at each spark. My pawl stayed down each time since I wasn't trying to power crank it and over shoot the sweet spot.

Sprayed a tiny spray of starting fluid into each cylinder. Put in the plug hand tightened only. Second crank...fire!! It ran for just a few seconds since I have the fuel line off and carb drained.

On my crank I just started at the bottom and gave a nice pull up. Last time I was giving it a power pull and having the motor turn a quarter crank past where the pawl should have dropped.

Next, I put in fresh fuel into the priming cups. Not more than one cup full. Second or third crank, I think third...fire again for a few seconds.

During all of this, I did advance my timing just a bit from where I had been trying it before. I think I have found the sweet spot so I'm going to mark it and give it a test with full fuel on Wed or Friday.

Thanks for all of the help figuring out that I believe I was giving it way too much fuel for start up.

I'll update on the full test soon.

Dave
