Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried that in the past, but no difference. Good news though.....I may have fixed the problem. I 'accidently' found that the negative cable on the battery was a little loose. Since tightening it down, it has been starting great every time. But then again, that had happened before when I tuned it up, etc. I don't know why it came loose and hoping that is really what has been wrong all of this time. It sure would explain why the problem has been intermittent. Anyway, time will tell. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
