I had a hell of a time getting my engine started. Go buy a syringe and a quart of Marvel Mystery oil. Deflood the engine and inject a bunch of oil in there. Crank the engine over with a 19mm socket and a 1/2 ratchet, then let it sit for 30 min. Then try starting it again. Dont press the gas pedal until it catches, and then rev it up and keep it between 2 and 3K rpm for the first couple minutes. (pulse the revs)
