Good lord! I have got 10 hours easy in my rain gutters and still no luck. This is the second set...... I tried a couple different ways to get them bent right and have lost all my hair doing so.

Hello all fellow barners!! Today I went out to fire my tudor up for the first time. everything checked out good before i attepmted (at least to the best of my knowledge) It turned over great and acted like it wanted to fire but never would. I checked the timing and it was good. I have fuel too...
