Though, it did cough back once. Guess tomorrow I do a compression test and check the cylinders. Changed the spark plugs out and the old ones were wet/gassy from all the cranking while searching for the spark issue. So much for "ran when parked"..... [Reply]   [No Email]

Pull the plugs again and check for wetness. Or hook a chain on it and pull start it. I would try pull starting it myself. [Reply]  [No Email]

If I remember right this is still 6 volts right?? If it is do this and it will not hurt a thing. Drop a 12 volt battery into it and try to start it. That will give it a tad bit hotter spark and spin it over a lot fast so it can start a good bit easier. Then let it run say 10-15 minutes shut it down then stick the 6 volt battery back in and give it a try. Almost bet it fires up if you do the 12 volt battery thing [Reply]  [No Email]
