If you have an Ohm meter you can check the coils resistance to help determine its cond.Should read.1-.3 ohms between the terminals and 7.4-11K ohms between the ground terminal and the plug cap.when checking the plug cap/ground,be sure to go to the K range on the meter.

 

Thanks for all the help guys. Ill keep you posted.

 

8dave3, you were right. Went in the garage today and kicked it over on the first try. I let it run for a minute then shut it off. It started first kick again after I let it sit for a minute. I shut it off and started it 3 more times....like nothing was ever wrong. Yesterday my dad told me that the carb cleaner could actually mess with the jets if its not blown out. So last night I took it apart again, shot it with the cleaner and then followed that by that "air-in-a-can" crap you get at office depot. She'll be ready for the weekend!

 

Good.Glad you got it running.
