I just had to get back here and thank Grid and emdsapmmgr for their keen insight about my motor. I put in the Champion plugs that emdsapmgr recommended with the proper gap and started it up without touching the "warm up lever" that Grid told me that I shouldn't touch when starting the motor. I pressed the key in while turning it to activate the choke and held it in until it ran smooth and it all worked. Thanks guys. You just made my day!
