Both Frank (above) and Kevin Valentine suggested timing being too far
advanced for my recurrent starting problems. I won't be able to test this
out until I've got the rear suspension back together (not long I think),
but I'm betting they are right. I =know= the timing is off ever since I
messed with it to pass emissions. Getting it back to normal I fiddled with
it much more than is good for me just trying to use the sound of the motor.
Not being experienced enough to do that well, I've since bought a timing
light and will do timing after suspension.
Thanks to Frank and Kevin on this starting problem. If others have any
other ideas, I'm more than open to hearing them. :)
