#1) Number one and two spark wires were loose in the connectors.
Apparently had cut the solid core strands on the threads and my generous
pulling on them.
#2) Number two lower injector seal was soft ?? replaced it.
#3) Number 1 injector retaining ring had slipped because the rubber had
gone soft. ?? replaced it.
That was it, although it could have been some moisture in the tank since
it was very near empty while it was parked for 30 days.
She's just a humming now.
Thanks for those that replied.
