Someone told me to try "sea foam". they think it is varnish- maybe. But when I use starting fluid, it dosent start. When I poured a little gas into the sparkplug hole, it dosent start. I would think it would run long enough to burn the starting fluid or gas up, then die out. The sparkplug sparks a little blue spark.

The next time I work on it, I want to inspect the key, but I am not sure how to remove the part with fins which is behind the pull-start shroud.
