Yes, you were were right on both counts - I couldn't pressurize the tank that much because the pressure kept going out the vent tube, so I gave up on it - turns out I probably didn't need it. I just topped off the spin-on fuel filter to make sure it's got a good drink right off the start.
Tonight I hooked up a freshly charged battery. I plugged in my block heater about 3 hrs beforehand, so the engine was nice and warm. I ran through the full glow cycle, I cranked it, and it started right up... it hesitated a bit and then when I mashed the pedal it took off and was just fine... whew! Thanks very much - I was worried about this - was preparing for an hour of cussing and cranking, but luckily I was wrong. So glad I got it started, thank you all -
Regards,
James
