Hello
I'm looking at a 1566, and was about ready to buy it until we tried to start it and nothing at all happened. We cracked fuel lines at the head, and have fuel there. We can get it to turn over with the starter by jumping the terminals with a screwdriver, but it won't fire or even smoke. We even tried helping it with some ether, but it still didn't fire. I had new battery's in it, so it shouldn't be a cranking speed problem. I'm out of ideas. What do you guys think?
