When I tried to start it up I had plenty of cranking power but it would not fire.
Tried starting fluid, still no fire.
Removed a plug wire to see if there was spark and that time it started right up.
This was about the third try after sitting for a few minutes between tries.
I am wondering what to look at.

I'm thinking about time. Time enough to cool. Time enough for the fuel bowl to drain, and thoroughly flood the manifold. Time enough for the ether to dry the plugs, and for it to kick with one wire loosened.
Just sayin'
