Posted this on the garden tractor site earlier and got no answers. Anbody else experienced this?Got a B/S 2 cyl "V" twin 18 Hp Vanguard engine that for some time has been almost impossible to crank below 50 degrees. Ths morning it refused to crank at all. It would occasionally sound like it fired, then nothing. Pulled the spark plug and hooked wire to it and grounded it,very red and weak spark. Choke fully closing and gas will wet the plugs. It wouldn't even fire off on ether today. Did not even pop. Has been getting worse and guess it finally has reached it dying point. Cranked up yesterday after the day warmed up and ran good and pulled OK. New to these engines, any suggestions or percularities to look for? Thanks for any advice you can share. Gene Davis
