Went to leave work today, turned the key and it didnt fire up like it normally does. It didnt start, just turned over. I went into the shop and grabbed the quick-start, as I turned it over, buddy gave it a few squirts. It started to start (lol) then I feathered the gas a bit and it caught. Whats the deal ? Clogged line ? Does this thing have a starter injector ? Why this pos do that to me ?

:(

Could be a weak fuel pump. Could be that you had no spark for a minute (loose wire) did you fix that black fuse box after? It could have been coinsidence that it fired with quick start and the slam of a door on the way in to get the quick start was enough to jiggle the wire to contact again.
Could be lots of tings.

What was the temp outside, may be a little water in the gas put the gas line goods to it.

how full was ur gas tank? reason i ask, if u were below 1/2 a tank, u prolly got condensation forming and voila.. water!

Rule of thumb for winter driving... never let ur gas tank sit below 1/2 to avoid condensation related probs.
