Now that the fuel system isn't the problem its time to check for ignition or "fire". I cranked on the engine a few times and it would kinda fire off a couple times and just die down and come to a stop. Since I couldn't find a "glow plug" in the parts diagrams and no mention of it in the starting procedure outlined in the owners manual I ruled that out. There must not be one - engine must run off of detonation alone or something. What's next?

So here's the video of me this morning when I was wondering what to do next. I took a short video before I got on the phone calling around asking for help. That way I could ask for the persons email and send it to them.

I then called the "TuffEquip" company that sold this machine originally. I had a feeling I wouldn't get any help or an answer since their website hadn't been updated since 2006 and was incomplete to begin with, shame! Don't even bother calling those guys. I think they rebranded the Easter Tool & Equipment machine and sold it for twice the price. Good thing Eastern Tool deals with these models of machines and the ETQ engines that power them!
