Hard starting assistance please.

This is why it is so difficult to troubleshoot remotely. We can't see the inherent problems that someone has created. We give advice not really knowing what could be the problem. I enjoy trying to help anyone with a problem and I know all the members that chimed in feel the same way. In essence our advice was for you to keep digging to find out where the problem lies. Glad to see you have found some of your problem. We've all been in your shoes because so many things can cause problems that are a little out of the ordinary.
