    If you want to make sure it’s running on both cylinders try starting it with one of the spark plug cap removed. If it starts that cylinder fires, try again with the only the other cap removed. If it won’t run with one of the caps removed then you know which plug isn’t firing

    Yea, I’m going to do that today. Just got back from Ace Hdwr.  I couldn’t do it in the beginning, since I had zero reliability in starting it. Now that I have that sorted, I can move forward.

    Thanks,
