Thanks Roland,
It seems to be a choke thing as I sprayed some Quick Start fluid into the air
box
and it started right up. Oddly enough though, the Alt warning lamp is on all
the time. The only thing I have done electrically was to add a diode on to the
main solenoid to protect the avionics from spikes when shutting down. Ive never
seen it lit in all the years I have had it.
