I have a gray 2202DT and started having problems. Hard to start and then wouldnt start at all. I replaced the ignition and battery. Then it just cranks. I started to replace the gloplugs and had to remove the oil filter. Upon removal I noticed some metal pieces resting in the bracket for the oil filter. They were more like shavings paper thin, about half an inch wide and an inch in diameter. It didn't appear that they would fit through the holes going through the bracket to the filter. But at this point I am not optimistic. I pulled the middle plug and it was coated with an oily black layer. Not feeling real good about things right now. Thoughts? I figure my next step is to drain the oil and check for metal pieces.
