Sean, it sounds like the electrical system is OK, so as a check of the fuel system--- take the spark plug out insert some fuel directly into the cylinder replace the spark plug promptly try to start the engine If the engine does fire then something is preventing fuel from the carb getting to the cylinder. (Maybe just a dry carb, fuel line block, air leak at the intake manifold, reed valve dirty (if there is one),some other possibilities) Then try squirting some fuel into the carb and see if the engine will fire with that fuel. If it will run a short time with priming the carb, try repeating that a few times to see if it keep it running If the engine still does not fire even a little then there is likely some other mechanical problem. Check the compression (thumb over the spark plug hole will tell if you have any at all), check that muffler is not plugged. Let us know how you make out with these simple tests and some other ideas may come to mind. Joe |
