It was just a little grumpy from being awakened from a big nap. 60 year old motors might do that sometimes. 😀 😀
If you didn’t drain the carb, last time you used it, that could create a little hard starting issue, as well. Running them for an hour or so, will clear it up and you’re good for the season. If it doesn’t clear up after a few minutes of running, then likely a tear down and rebuild of the carb will be needed.
You might want to double check the connections, where the spark plug leads go into the coils. Since you have two different coils on that motor, that’s all the more reason to double check the workmanship of the coil replacement. A good mechanic would have replaced them both, when the first one died. Then again, a PO could have installed a couple of good used coils on it too.
