1. No difference with holding ignition open longer before cranking.
2. Gas was fresh in May with fuel stabilizer added...should be still good,right?
3. As soon as I can get to it, I will try the fuel line and filter test and let you know.
Thanks again you all for your time and interest....much appreciated.
