You're right!!!!!!!! But at the time we were looking at something other than electrical. Steve said he is much happier now that he dismantled the engine tho because now he knows that all components are right and working properly. The "clattering" or "dieseling" noise were the valves being too tight. God I feel better and now I can make a show or 2 before the season ends.
THANKS EVERYONE!
