Success !...she (not sure why she's a she now...but that my previous reference) did fire and ran briefly being "spoon fed" 40:1 fuel with my previously mention configuration (12v -> Starter -> Jumper wire w/ Ignition Resistor -> Coil)...the Ignition Resistor gets VERY hot...any input on that ??...next step since the weather seems to be cooperating is to run her again ('spoon feed method) to see if the fuel pump will pull from a gas can...fuel line is disconnected at carb to prevent anything bad from entering the carb.
