Won't start - need help
04/25/12 at 04:51:55

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I pulled the tank and changed the spark plug, put it all back together, turns over good but wouldn't start. I thought that maybe I replaced the plug with the wrong one so I pulled it apart and put the old one back in and still the same no start. I'm getting gas to the carb but it sounds like no spark. What am I missing?
Thanks,
AL

Those things can get knocked loose when putting the tank back on. Pull tank, and leave it off. Reseat all connections, see if it will start. You should have enough gas in the bowl to run it for a bit. Still no start, check for spark.

Okay I'll give it another try after work. Thanks.

I put it on the trickle charger last night and it was all charged up this morning. Just for the heck of it I tried it before work but still no start. Thanks.

No. I had it running and took it work a couple times this year. Ran great. I just figured after 20,000 miles it could prolly use a new spark plug. I should have left it alone. AL

I found a small plug that got pulled that I didn't know was pulled. Plugged it in and it fired right up. Thanks. AL
