Good morning, I'm making progress, and I have the starter motor mounted. I'll have to do some research before I understand the wiring. I do believe that it's ready to start with the pull cord however. I pulled the cord many times but it wouldn't start, even with starting fluid spray. It seems to be getting fuel as the fuel line and gas filter are full of gas. I also pulled the bowl and it had lots of gas.(and its a brand new carburetor from Amazon) It also has fire. I pulled the plug and wired it up with an alligator clip and a battery clamp and the spark wire from the magneto and I saw spark from the gap when I pulled the cord. Even though there was consistent spark, it didn't seem robust. While I had the plug out, I put a compression gauge in the hole and pulled the cord and saw compression, I couldn't get an actual reading because I couldn't pull the cord and keep the gauge steady at the same time. In fact, it was very hard to pull the cord when the compression gauge was in.
Where do I go next? Thanks, Jim
