Thanks,
before driving to get gas I decarbonized the dist cap and rotor (and don't believe I cracked it putting it back on, but again i'll pull it to double-check)
been down with a cold today, but got several cans of carb cleaner to degrease the pulleys and alt...battery's charged, and will try everything again tomorrow
keep feeding me tips, especially ones i haven't already done, thanks,
