This weekend each time i tried to start it, i let it sit in the on position for 10 seconds, and held the gas down. It didnt seem to matter, it just revved high when it finally did start.

Thats a neat trick with the spray bottle and spark plug wires, i'll have to try that. I was going to inspect the cap it looked like it was burried, i'll take it off this weekend and have a look.

i'll let you guys know.
