hello , well im still having the starting problems some times after about 25 cranks it fires up and seems ok ,but then takes another 25 to get it going again, it seems like it wants to start but just wont catch and go , i feel i have tried every thing and read everything but i know i must be missing something.

here is a log and my current setting witch every once and awile gets it idleing.

on a side note every time i use the generate table they come out very large numbers and not what i would expect .timming usally starts at 56 deg and goes up ,fuel starts in the 60s but when i do get it started its in the 20s or it floods.

any help would be greatfull.

Yeah spark plugs like to soak up gas. You really should get a wideband O2. They warm up in 30 seconds and you can then start your engine and see what is going on with that start enrichments. Gets you a much better idea of things. But keep tinkering. Sometimes that's all it takes.
