Still no luck with getting a start after knocking the carb. Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated?

Recall:
Temperature 7 degrees Celcius (48F)
It does fire but only for half a second after a lot of priming.
I can get it to the point where I see fuel dripping from the carb.
I can hear the bendix vibrator screeching.
Tried QuickStart (ether) direct into carb.
Tried full open throttle start in readiness to close quickly.

I'll take the plugs out tomorrow and inspect and put fresh fuel in.
Will preheat the engine with electric heater.
Might also purchase a couple of car batteries to boost the 24v GIL.

If I was going to look for a vibrator enhanced spark from a plug which one would should I pull ? Do I disconnect the starter for this test?

OOW
