Bernie,
I have also found that if the battery is a bit low on charge, it won't
start, even though it will crank.  Watching the voltage reading on the
EM-2 during cranking will give an indication.  If I recall correctly,
somewhere around 9v is the absolute limit.

Bernie,

Any idea as to why it wouldn't start before, but does now?

==============================

Hi Mark,

Not positive, but is starting fine now. May have been that I got it
flooded and my battery was not charged good. All the talk about they
will not start once the plug is wet is probably the problem. A short
squirt of starting fluid fired it off enough to burn the plugs clean. We
could see a nice spark this morning with the plugs that had been wet.

Do not really have a definitive answer.

Bernie
