I did everything Jerry told me to do, ATF plus Kroil into the park plug holes, refilled oil with 5-30 , spun it a half dozen times with spark plug in (much much improved) , ignition off, then lug engaged the ignition, the starter seemed to much improved, after a couple tries it fired off. It is running- Jerry is a genius! I can't thank all of your for your help- till next time, I hope I don't jinx myself by writing the note- Merry Christmas stovebolters!!!!
