Thought I would follow up with my findings in hopes it'll help someone else.
BURNT EXHAUST VALVE! And it was TOASTED! We replaced the bad valve and ground the intake valve & both seats and not only does she start right up now. The power increase is AMAZING! Since I have only driven with a bad valve since I bought it this Summer I wasn't sure how much power it should have had. Well today I took it out for a test drive and it actually spun the tires so fast it did a doughnut in the driveway! I am ready to DESTROY SOME SNOW!!! :biggrin2.gif:
