This time I took out the 2 small jets in the two outer small holes in the fuel bowl. They looked clean, but I still ran a small wire through the jets and blew through them and the holes with carb cleaner. Every hole I blew through, I made sure cleaner was blowing out the other side. I also made...
I sure don't like the suggestion some gave to drill a small hole to get it. I don't like the idea of possible metal shavings.
Another guy said the plug is soft enough to use a Sheetrock screw.
I'll do some more searching on ideas how to remove it.
I didn't see any kind of oil up there at that top crank seal.

Everything on this appears to have been well maintained, inspected, and cleaned. There's dates on ignition things with 2016 and several of the fuel lines are 2015.
.
I did a fuel leak test on the lines. I put bed sheet scraps under...
I need to get a DVA for my Multimeter just so I know I've done a I've checked it all out.
But with a 7/16 bright blue spark at all plug wires, I'm going to just go back into the fuel system for now - double check the carburetors.
The fuel lines have a date stamp of 01 and 15, so I'll replace...
I pulled the flywheel to look over the stator. I saw on Brandon's Garage where he cleaned up and put some lube on the surface where the timer base rotates.
I figured I'd do that while I'm in there. I'll also check to see if everything is clean and dry there at that seal.
I pulled the flywheel to look at stator, the underside of the flywheel, and the timer base assembly.
All look good visually.

I guess I'll start going through all the ignition diagnosis tests in the repair manual. Might as well order all new fuel hoses and fuel pump.
.
Fresh non-ethanol gas mixed 50:1.
New Spark plugs gapped at 0.030 inches.
Runs the same as with the other tank of gas from before.
Runs the same as with the older spark plugs.
.
Right from the startup and warmed up. Runs the same.
.
I'll check spark with spark tester at 7/16.
Then I'll test each...
