Will try..... Thanks

I have not checked it, can you tell me the connection between compression and rich burn?

I do not add oil to the the fuel tank. i add it to the oil tank and it is injected.

Thanks for the input regarding the NGK plugs. Took out the Autolite, put in new NGK with .028 gap and it started on first manual crank. My Dad used to say to always check something simple when there is a problem.....good advice.

Thanks......Have ordered some and will pick up this am. Will give it a try before I change coils.

Thanks......what kind of reading indicates a bad coil?

Have trouble with spark on 88 elite 50. Checked resistance across ignition coil and the reading was .4 ohms versus the manual's range of .1-.2ohms. Trying to determine if my coil is ok.
