got her running. 1 can of dry gas + battery charger + starting it about every 5 minutes for ~30 minutes, plus some fancy gas petal work.

Y'all been in a deep freeze up North, I hope you don't have enough water in the fuel to refreeze again tonight and have the same problem in the morning. Good Luck

i hope not. i had less than a quater tank of gas when it happened and i put a full bottle of dry gas in which states it's enough for 20 gallons. i just ran it for about 20 or so minutes, a much needed pimp lap, and it started up easy.

the new battery was much needed. the old battery was from 06. now i turn the key and it starts right up.
