Hi, Well we got it running again. It required a lot of work. Finally got
the engine turning over after dumping in a quart of mystery oil followed by
a quart of motor oil and then prying with a pinch bar. I turned it with bar

spun over blowing oil all over. Cleaned the plugs and reinstalled them spun
it over popped twice then nothing. Carburator was totally fouled disassemble
and clean reinstall blow out fuel line electric fuel pump leaking and
pumping air thru line. Buy and install new fuel pump. remove plugs again
