Fleetwin:

I finally got around to working on this motor.  My son-in-law and I just cleaned out the tanks per your instructions, also we refilled the lower end with gear lube exactly as you described.  We also did a spark test and get an arc on both plugs.   Then we got the correct fuel oil mixture in both tanks and connected one of the tanks to the motor.

Of course, we did not obey your advice above and tried to start the motor, but it didn’t even turn over.  We used the bulb pump to fill the little clear bowl with fuel, but still nothing.

Any advice on what to do next?

Thanks!
