[WT] Re: Almost (now SUCCESS!)
I had my son put his finger over the hole while I laid on the floor
with a big wrench and turned the engine. He wasn't sure what I was asking him to do but I heard a loud squeak when #1 hit tdc and knew I was there. I then placed the wires in their proper spots. After a few minutes of cranking on and off I decided to shoot a little starting fluid in the carb. The beast sputtered then came to life! Oil pressure came up and after 10 seconds I shut it off. I went to inspect the engine and found oil running down the inside of the left fender. Further inspection showed that I didn't get the oil filter top on perfectly. I cleaned up what I could and gave up for the night. It was a good day. Thanks to all for the help.
