Then I had to pull out all the plugs and squirt some WD-40 into the cylinders. This engine was rebuilt 2 years ago, and last time we tried to start it, it was too tight and the starter didn't crank it fast enough. So with the plugs off, I grabbed a battery and a few wires and cables and turned the engine a few revolutions with the starter to loosen it up. I reinstalled the plugs and used a little gas can to feed it... On the second crank, she fired right UP!!!! She's ALIVE!!!

And the 350 sounds very healthy...It's gonna be a runner!!
