I pulled it through with the #1 harness end sitting against the cylinder, after I had set the mags and before I put the spark plug back from locating TDC.
Did not fire at all while cranking and I could hear the impulse click while doing so... I did make the mistake of pushing the mixture in (I should have left it cut and will do that next time I try to start). Still thinking the fuel nozzle / fuel level may still be too high and if I leave the mixture cut maybe it will start tomorrow.
I gave it one shot of prime.. then a second one later on. I prime all 4 cylinders... have for 17 years and always have used 3 shots for start. Subsequent cranking after the initial attempt was with mixture cut and still had fuel dripping out the box. Turning the engine backwards had more drops hitting the bucket. Tomorrow I will also remove all the primer lines and make sure none are clogged as well as pull the nozzle fittings to check, clean and reinstall.
Like I said, I've always had a hard time starting with no preheat.. but figured with things set, impulse working, it should have fired on a 10F day.. No.
I'll change the settings on the video..
