Apache.......Good thought about the plugs. The plugs were replaced when all this "non start" issue started, but I will try to pull them out and label and get some close-up pics......maybe some good clues there. I will also check the oil dip stick again and make sure the level is not increaseing (due to gas leaking down past the pistons/rings), and see if there is any gas smell to the oil.
Next time I will also try to remember to make a quick Youtube video of the engine "Cold starting", and then the "Warm start" issue in all its grand glory.
Maybe all this discussion will help another poor soul down the road.
