"please dont patronize me."
I never patronized ANYONE ever.
What is it about my post you objected to?
Your first post was patronizing with combustion 101. I didnt respond. Now you give me "teaspoon of gas" scenario. Again combustion 101. If you would have read my first post it CLEARLY states I sprayed carb cleaner.... "teaspoon of gas". YES you're patronizing. Please dont comment further.

does it have a low oil shutdown?
I would say the low oil shutdown switch might be malfunctioning, but since it was ran low on oil it probably doesn't have one... Have you tried running it with the kill wire unhooked? That would eliminate any ground issues causing intermittent spark possibly

there was another guy awhile back that when he pulled his spark plug out, and checked for spark, it sparked, but the engine wouldn't start, he unplugged the coil kill wire and it ran, but blew up! The low oil switch was preventing it from running.


I'll do some more thinking.....

Running on low oil, I'm wondering if a valve is stuck or sticking from overheat.
