    Try Starting fluid

    It works in cold weather even without a choke.

    I am having the same issue with a 225. I can get it to cough but it won't catch. I have reset the distributor several times to make sure. It won't catch on starting fluid either. Any ideas? Seth how did you resolve this?

    I did have both valve covers off and it did appear all valves where moving as they are supposed to. I have not done the compression test yet, that may have to wait until this weekend.
