Internal Combustion Engines Must Have 3 Basics, Fuel Air, And Spark. If U Are Sure U Have Adequate Fuel In The Tank, Remove The Top Of The Air Filter Unit And Temporarily Remove The Filter Element. Re-install The Cover Before U Try To Start The Engine. If This Does Not Work, Re-install Both Element & Cover. Next With Ignition Off, Remove A Spark Plug, Plug It Back Into It's Boot, & Using An Insulated Pair Of Pliers Hold The Boot So The Plug Tip Is Near, But Not Touching The Engine Block While A Friend Turns The Switch To Start. If U Get Spark Reinstall Plug & Boot. Next Find A Fuel Line Which Feeds The Engine, Remove And Hold In A Container While Your Friend Again Turns The Switch To Start. If U Try All Of The Above With No Luck, Consult A Mechanic.
