RE-READ THE SERIN SEROUT PROBLEM thread that you've been reading. It's all right there. I don't feel like retyping things that have already been done.

As far as sending the start bit in front so that serin can known when it should start reading data....
How do you think serial data transmission works? By sending the stop bit first? Not so much....
