Going back to my earlier post, I found it interesting that the engine would not start and in that process of trying to turn over, the battery died. I trickle-charged the battery until the charger showed "full charge". Removed charger, re-attached all battery cables, turn key once, voila! Starts right away nice and smooth. Wondering why that is, is all.

Again, it's an old motor, during the warmer months it takes a minute to start but always does. When it got colder, it took longer to turn over. I always check the primer bulb and have used the same process for a few years, usually starts with out a major hitch.
