Did you try to start it normally before the tow?

I am not an authority on IPs, but as I recall those weights are part of the governor. I was not aware that a governor issue could cause a no-start.

I will be interested to see how it behaves after it sits and cools down for 6-7 hours.

Don't get me wrong, I am very happy for you that it's come to life, but we haven't learned anything conclusive yet as to the problem, have we?
