I tried starting without the filter and there was not a difference. The spark plug and hole are oily. I sprayed WD40 and carburetor cleaner, twisted a rag in there, and repeated a few times, but when I cleaned the plug, and plugged it in again, I could not get a spark, nor with the old plug.
I bought a spark plug tester and it did not light up for either one. I will order a new one, but it is time to move on for now.
Fun twist, while the oil read correctly last week, now it did not even show up on the dipstick!
I topped it off.
