Hi guys, I just bought a '76 JS400 over the winter and am having trouble getting it running.

I just bought a new battery, spark plugs, gas and oil. I checked for spark and spark is there. Seems to have good compression.

Big problem is that it turns over fine with no plugs, but acts like it has a dead battery with a new battery with a full charge. engine seems to turn free when turned by hand at the drive coupling.

Is this a bad sarter?? What else could be the problem?

thanks for any help!

Kev
