Yes battery was off a fresh charge and it was plenty of powerful to start a o.s. 91 Four Stroke this morning. Yes it's a sullivan starter - the same one I've had for a long time. Even tried turning the cone around and starting on the nut and not the spinner - same result.

It wasn't flooded because I took the glow plug out and turned it over and "tried" to turn the prop by hand and finally spun it over about a dozen times and never had the first drop come out of the carb or the head.

Even when heated and no glow plug it was very difficult to turn over by hand by turning the prop while it was on a test stand.

BUT I finally fixed it. I took it off the stand, boxed it up and promptly threw it in the trash can. Forget sending it back for a warranty coverage on a $60 engine. Sure, maybe I got one that was out of spec - but O.S. just lost a customer. I'll find another engine for this and future planes. It was soo tight at the field this morning where I took it for some outside advice - the comments were that is tight to what a piece of crap that when I chunked it into the tash no one even wanted it.
