I would pull the spark plugs and let the starter turn the eng over. Does it crank the same as it did with the plugs in or faster? If it cranks over faster I would make sure the battery is fully charged.

Anyhow, I can turn the motor over via the starter and it makes complete revoutions. Just doesn't turn quick enough to fire off. Thanks for all the suggestions though. Brian
