[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 222731, member: 3959"] More stupid shit. Me being a 'trusting' idiot. At least thats what I'm hoping for. Having to re-learn the most basic of things. So I got the PVA, and it didn't help much. And I started re-testing things; stator, coil, etc, without finding anything wrong. Then I thought, what if this BRAND NEW spark plug is bad? So I went to the drawer of used spark plugs, and plugged one in. Lo and behold, I thought I saw a spark! Once. Then I decided maybe my eyes weren't the best and brought the kid out to the garage, turned off the lights and put his newer eyes on it. No spark. Then I looked at my pile of used plugs and remembered that they were all from 2T's, and why else would I have a pile of 2T spark plugs lying around and not in use?...duh... So I went to my car, ripped one out, plugged it in, and sure as shit, it sparked. I'm gonna go buy a couple from Autozone tomorrow and wont be a bit surprised if she fires. I will be a bit surprised if she fires and runs since the gas has been sitting in the float bowl for 3-4 months now... Overlooking the very basics, and ASSUMING that because the plug was brand new, it was good. I'm sure once I get it running I'll have a whole new set of problems. [/QUOTE]
