Not sure what took so long to start and I guess the test will be if it will start again when cold. Whatever - this thing is a beast.
Thanks to all who contributed to my situation. Everything is hooked up properly and all of the boots are tight. They are in very good shape. I am thinking residue from the old gas may have needed to be blown out. I double and triple checked all connections, wires, lines, etc., to make sure they weren't hooked up wrong, crossed, etc.

That is not the best way. Groin area is more sensitive. :evil:Rockranch wrote: One surefire way of testing for good spark is removing plug, reinsert in plug cap and tap the starter button while holding plug with thumb on electrode. Sounds crude but a foolproof way to tell the strength of spark if any at all. (this method not recommended for anyone with a pacemaker). ................................Mike
