        Ya..you can have a test light on the tank plug pretty fast. It forecast snow today and at least I got a little rain. I bet you can even blow fog breath lol.
        Be careful !

          Resolution!

          Festy is running! I feel so dumb! It wasn't fuel related at all.

          I went out this morning and tested pump and relay. All checked good! So I was just looking at the engine and I see the coil wire on disty side was laying loose down on the tranny. The wire inside the coil wire had disintegrated. Well, that might be the problem!

          I cut and re-attached the metal contact onto the coil wire, to check if it was for sure the only issue, and it fired right up.

          I was getting spark last weekend while trouble shooting? It was orange though, not blue. How did I get spark without a coil wire is beyond me. Anyway, new wires are waiting for me to pick them up and life is good again...sheesh!
