with the jumper hooked up, does it sound like the crank speed is the same as last week when it was starting? a bad battery will make it very difficult to crank these 22:1 CR motors. it sounds like either your starter has gotten weak, or your battery is failing. another possibility is that the loops are inadequate to heat the PC enough to aid ignition. new loops could get the band aid going a bit longer, but conversion to pencil plugs will make a MUCH bigger difference. is it worth 100.00 to find out? your call. get a fully charged type 49 battery in there and see if the plugs and starter work better. if no change, you might wanna look into conversion...
