it worked!

Thanks to whomever recommended checking choke adjustments!

I hadn't posed the original question, but it worked for me.  I had been
flooding the engine for the passed few (warm) weekends trying to get the B
to start.  Everything else looked good.  Checked the postion of the "choke
arm"(?) and found it was a 1/8 rotation shy of the full position.  Changed
the position, planted my feet firmly on the floor and yanked on the
handle...engine fired right up...
