My A-65(stromberg) has decided to give me trouble all the sudden. It had been starting fine all summer until it had to sit for a couple of weeks while I had an exhaust crack repaired. Now I can't get it to start. I normally pull it through 3 or 4 times turn on the mags and she goes on the 3rd or 4th blade. Now it won't hit at all. We tried priming it but that didn't seem to make a difference.
It may be my imagination but it doesn't seem like I can hear it getting squishy like it normally does when I pull it through prior to turning on the mags.
We pulled some plugs and they were dry even after priming it. (it's sparking) We shot some fuel into the cylinders before we put the plugs back in and got it to start. It ran normal so I shut it down but when We tried to restart it but wouldn't do a thing. Any ideas ?
Thanks
