Sweet things happen with a little patience.

I wonder why the engine was so reluctant to start and run?

The Ranger on my fathers 24 was really tired and had sat for many years before we flew it back to KS. I flew a Cherokee 6 along side and noticed he kept going lower. When we made it back to KLYO we had nearly no oil in the sump. They love oil.

Being I'm not all that knowledgeable on most engines, I can't really say. Perhaps minor adjustments needed with regard to timing and fuel supply?
