I have SUCCESS!

Came home from work tonight and figured I'd tinker a bit. Gave it a glow cycle... cranked it over for a bit (still had a line loose) and got a sputter.

I was surprised so I got out and tightened the line. Gave it another glow cycle and cranked on it a bit. It took a good bit but kicked off with a big cloud and ran smoothly.

I let it come up to operating temp and it seems to run ok. Hazing pretty good (likely residue from the piston soak) and sitting for 6 years.

I then noticed the fuel in my fuel can was now an interesting shade of orange. I'm assuming its from sludge in the pump.

I shut it down and decided to go on and pull the delivery valves and clean them up one at a time. Each was caked with an orangeish sludge. I cleaned them all up by hand and re-installed. Using the hand primer, I then filled the pump with Diesel Purge. It's the strongest solvent I've got at the house and didn't feel like going anywhere.

I'll let it sit overnight and then pump it out by hand and see what comes out. I'll pump it full of fresh fuel tomorrow afternoon and see if it starts any easier.

Thanks for the help.
