That I guess is my next step. I checked the gap on armeture(sp) and it was fine. Put a teaspoon of gas in each plug and it fired right up. I guess that just leaves the carb. Still has me miffed at why it won't start but will run perfectly once running. Oh well, guess I don't need to understand everything. Thanks!

All those little tubes in the carbs can be finnicky I say give cleaning it real good a shot. Or if your up to investing I'm either a rebuild or new carb that's always good to. Cleaning is free however.
