Just a quick update for all that were helping out and following along.
The Super A that I"d been stumped on starting is now running and running well. Happy New Year!
What exactly the problem was will remain a bit of a mystery. Electrical system, air intake, fuel, etc. was all checking out but there was no fire at all.

Now on to those next maintenance projects. Happy New Year and thanks all for your thoughts and insight!
