Well, it appears that bad teeth have won the battle. Can't get enough starter bite to start the engine, tho' it sounds very promising for a nanosecond. Put a socket on the crank pulley to change the geometery, but, as noted, not enough meshing to get 'er started for more than a second, then the starter won't engage the ring gear any longer. Set the primary float with the e-pump pulling 5 PSI, and the float is unchanged from before, so that's not the issue. Not sure why, but there's clearly a sl. amount of raw gasoline lying atop the secondary butterflies, tho' the car never started. arggggh. s
