Some brands of plugs just don't work in some engines. Doesn't make sense, but ......
Funny thing is... it was autolights that I put in that made it start. I even cracked the insulator on 2 plugs going in and it still rolled down the road like a champ. It dont start worh a damn in the cold though. I think I need to check the instalation of my electric choke.
