Well Guys,

I figured out my problem. It was neither the plug nor the ignition, it again turned out to be another simple misunderstanding. On my last engine, a 5 Cell NI-MH was fine for the ignition. On the DL ignition is states 4.8-6V, so I figured the same battery would work fine. Wrong, I was reading that a 5 cell pack is too much voltage, so I threw on a 4 cell pack and it started right up like any gasser should.

Again, thanks for everyone's help, Brett

Also, do you think the little bit with too much voltage hurt the ignition?
