I guess the last time I refilled the air breather on the pony, i overfilled it as the next time I started it, oil blew out the exhaust. I ran it a bit longer and the oil blow stopped, but a few minutes later when I went to give the diesel compression I stalled the pony and now can't seemed to get it started. It turns over fine, just does not hit. Any suggestions on what I should do? Any help appreciated. Michael

I would clean the plugs,open the drains on the heads.Then pull it over a few times to blow out the cylinders.Then try to start it.
Check you have fuel in the tank.

After the plugs are clean and oil blown out of the cylinders, a quick "sniff" of ether into each plug hole before the plugs go back in will make that initial start a lot easier. I'll sometimes do that during cold weather with a worn pony motor as a matter of course if it's reluctant to fire up.

Do you have the choke fully engaged? Also, after sitting for several months, once I got the starting engine starting I ran some carb cleaner through it. I am back to two or three pulls with the rope to start.
