NO Start issue


Recommended Posts

You need fuel, compression and spark. Check for each.

Pull the plugs and do a compression check. Anywhere for #80 to #110 should run.

While you have the plugs out, check for spark. Ground it to the head and crank the engine. Should see the plug flash every second or so.

Pull the air filter, look sown the carb throat and snap the throttle open. should see a stream of gas shot down. If not, pull the 4 crews on the top cover, left it off and see if their is any gas in the bowl where the brass float sits.

Report back what you find.

You may/probably will have multiple issues in all three areas if it has been sitting for a while.

compression check would be a great idea.

Something I learned over time, spray a little starting fluid in the carb. If it has any spark at all it will try to fire. you have a fuel issue.

If it does not change at all with the either, you have a spark issue.

I have seen new condensers go bad, get spark at the points but nothing to the plugs.
