I would check to see if you are getting spark. The next thing to think about is this. If you shut the gas off and let it run out, it may take a while for the fuel pump to push fuel over to the carb. You can put some gas in the priming cups and see if it goes.

i have not pulled the plugs as of yet, the fuel pump is by passed and the carb is gravity fed, i filled the primer cups several times and no luck. i do have it parked on a slight hill im thinking that maybee when im filling the cups is not flowing the right way? thanks.

hello fstelma ,if it has sat out side it may have condensation inside the mag ,check inside distributor cap and were the leads go in and inside the top lid for any moisture, you can dry it in a warm oven ,don't toast it ,lol,bruce oz

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
