OK the "buzzing" sound I mentioned earlier is coming from what I think is the idle speed regulator. (the thing on the left side of the motor with a plug on top of it) I touched it and it is indeed running. This morning it cranked for a while before the engine would fire. Does this indicate flood condition related to the aforementioned part?
