Hi Jeff do you have an impact driver, if that doesn't work then you would have to resort to your previous method. Do you have a drill to spin it over? If you can spin it over check to see if you have spark. Then put a teaspoon of fuel in the plug hole and give it a spin. Then if it doesn't fire try a squirt of starter fluid in the plug hole and it it makes no attempt to fire, it very likely has been straight fueled and you can verify this by pulling the head off. Then you can decide if it is a give up one. Just remember they sell those pull starters for $50 and I know people who have paid that for them so that is worth salvaging. Coil is worth keeping as they are specific to the side pull and so is the module
