I think the original problem was just running it out of gas. It didn't occur to me since it doesn't get ridden but I guess even starting once a week will run it out eventually. I wore the battery down before I realized it needed gas. So I added gas and tried to jump it. I think I fried something electrical. I was seeing spark when I checked for it but it may have been weak, I don't know how big it should be. So I decided to walk away and take a break and come back fresh in a week. When I came back I put in the a new plug and thought I would check for spark again before installing it. This time no spark. Swapped coils, still no spark. So I swapped out the alternator.
THIS IS WHERE THE CURRENT PROBLEM BEGINS.
When I push the start button I hear the decomp click, the solenoid clicks, and then nothing. I swapped starters, same result. If I remove the starter and ground it it spins when it's supposed to. Replace it and no go. I removed the generator cover again and checked the gears that engage the starter. They seem right. I was able to turn the starter shaft by hand and see the gears turn the engine. Put it back together and same story. Any ideas?

I guess I just needed some encouragement to get in there again. I only found one washer but pics in Clymer's and the parts fiche don't show any. So I tried it in a couple locations close to where it was and every time I put the cover back on I had the same result. So I left it out and closed it up and WOOHOO it started right up and ran til I shut it off.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

WD 40 uses propane for propellant. Makes a good test fuel. I hesitate to use starting fluid on gas engines. Too much is not so hard to do, IMO.
