Have Fuel, Have spark, Have air. If it was electrical, wouldnt one of those not be happening? Unless Sublime is right and I have no compression. only thing left in the starting mix.
So again I am stuck.
Your mix didn't change when the wire came lose on the highway...
If at this point, you've gotten fuel, spark, and air... you may have cranked so long that you've gas washed the cylinder...
Pull the plug,... put a squirt of oil in the plug hole, put the plug back in, and crank a few times... then, pull the plug, and install a new, clean one... charge battery to full... temporarily, disconnect your headlight to get more cranking power...(leave it disconnected 'till you get this problem worked out)...
Then try starting... Choke on, no throttle... set to prime if you have stock petcock...
