I appreciate the input guys. These old engines seem to need voodoo to get them started. I'm a BMW mechanic, no joke! This old stovebolt has had me scratching my head. These days I'm used to troubleshooting direct injection and variable valve lift systems. Who would have thought I'd have trouble with suck-squeeze-bang-blow!?
Those old guys knew what they were about.
