Again guys, Thanks for all the help. Boy I wish there was someone around here that ran deisels.
Andrew, the engine is second hand but supposed to be new. On your advise I checked and found the head screws were loose. I have not had a chance to try it yet so I'll keep you posted!
It's been tough not to just grab a starter and go at it but I'm resisting. I just keep telling myself that once I figure this thing out I'll love it!!
Thanks again

Tag,
I would suggest you continue to resist that starter at least until you are able to get it running by hand. I don't use starters (except springs) on my engines.
Since you mentioned head screws, I assume you have an older version. Here are some pics. Sorry they are a bit dark.
