I use E10 exclusively myself, Doug and while my car seldom sits more than 3 days without a little driving, I do add Marine Stabil and Marvel Mystery Oil on an irregular basis. but I do use my fuel cut off valve "religiously ".

So, some other thread....somebody must have steered you to valves and guides...then rings.

Honed?

Rings on right? COMPRESSION?

Caught for a bit.....at least intermittent spark.


Somebody must have steered you to float valves with no start in some other thread.

Now points.

Kill the fuel pump, no flooding, try starting fluid a couple of times.

Problem is, the actual problem has not been diagnosed. You keep DOING things adding more layers of possible issues.

Then you get to start sorting them out.
