Voltage meter got trashed when it dropped onto concrete... Arg.......
Anyway, one test I didn't do up to now, was one mentioned near top of post by 'VitaBene'.... Try to spin the flywheel ! Simple....
Had to remove 6 screws holding down flywheel cover, then got a big wrench and turned flywheel nut. At first it was extremely difficult to turn the flywheel, then it spun free easy !
I turned a few more times and it did turn hard at one point in the cycle, I suspect when cylinders were going up and down. That first turn was definitely hard turn.
I turned engine off, and then was able to restart again, without issues?
OK, so what's going on here Forum folks, has me stumped?
Thanks again for all your great comments especially to 'VitaBene' !
