Thank you for the kind words, Mike!

I got the engine to run...I really cheated and tried it in my bonus room upstairs where I build. After I put glow in the tank and drew some into the engine by hand cranking it with my thumb over the carb opening, I let her sit a few minutes. Then I decided what the heck and put the glow connector on, and proceeded to hand flip her. She coughed after just a few flips and cleared her throat of gunk, and idled pretty good. I cut it after 5-10 seconds so as not to get exhaust everywhere and get my wife upset, lol! This engine was on a different plane till it died in a midair about ten years ago, and had not run since then.
