Well, one thing I've noticed since I got the new battery is that it fires right up when I hit the stomp starter! Hotrod Lincoln and Roy Rogers were right...... after spinning the starter there wasn't enough voltage left in the old battery to energize the coil. The engine wasn't getting a hot enough spark to light the gas. Looking back, it's been hard to start for a long time, so the battery has been the culprit all this time!
