Thanks much to all who offered advice. I believe that I do need to adjust the valves but I also think that will likely have to wait for spring. About all I hope to yet do is to change the oil before it gets stored for the winter.
I think it must have been low on fuel. I picked up a 5 gallon can of diesel and poured it in the tank. I cranked it a bit and I pumped the primer on the fuel filter. It took a number of tries over the evening as I kept running the battery down and re-charging it but it finally started last evening about 11PM. I drove it to the local station and filled it this morning and have driven it to the office. I will drive it home at lunch and may not drive it out of the garage again until spring. We are expecting snow and colder temperatures so it is about time to put it away. I guess my low fuel light must be having an issue. It has always worked and I was expecting it to come on. It did not and I guess maybe I went a bit too far before re-filling. Could have been worse. Learned a lesson not to rely on such contraptions. Unfortunately, the guage gets a bit wonky when the level is low too so I may have to rely more on the numbers on the odometer.
