1. Right after I verbally celebrate our achievement in the Carb progress video below, Charles tries to give it gas and it dies with a pop. What would cause this?
2. After a couple of starts and stops we let the engine run at idle to for 10-15 minutes. Once we shut the engine off, however, it wouldn't start again.
Ok. Side note only because I don't know the proper terminology here. What's the difference between cranking, turning over, and starting? When is it correct to use each term? When I turn the key, and the starter, being the loyal reliable component that it is, engages, turning the other components of the engine, but the engine just sits there spinning and draining my battery, is that cranking but not starting? If so, what is turning over? It has no bearing really on the functionality of the engine, but since I am relying on my words to describe things to people on this blog, I'd like to have the right words, and not sound like an idiot. In my world, ignorance is not bliss; it's frustratingly in the way of progress.
