Hi Norm,

Yep tried starter fluid to no avail. I pulled the head off and broke the head gasket in the process, not supprisingly.

There was significant carbon build up which I cleaned and polished and then put it all back together. It coughed and idled for about 2 seconds before stalling again.

Hopefully the local has a gasket kit for these tecumsehs
