I took out all the spark plugs. Then took out the fan. I changed the orientation of the distributor to have 1 pointed more at the booster than the front of the engine. Dropped the distributor cap right on top while at TDC.
Went to start it and cranked. I heard what sounded like a it wanted to start but then didnt. I smell gas so maybe it is flooded. Anyhow the battery died again. NEW battery, was charging a hour or so. Must really be drained. Gonna let it be on charger and try again later.
