So I am making progress, I pulled out the electric starter and Im able to get the prop turning as fast as the start turns, but its not starting. Also, I saw a bubble in the fuel line, so I plugged the muffler and did a few slow turns and saw the bubble moving down into the engine, so the fuel lines look good, so there is gas in the engine and the glow plug is good (at least the tester said it is) Getting closer, but something still preventing a good start.

" Chasing a starting problem with an old gummed up engine can be pretty frustrating" haha, Im finding this out =)
