[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 194561, member: 10"] As always - have him check for spark - and maybe replace the spark plugs? Does he have the gas line hooked up correctly? Is the vent open on the fuel tank? Does he have the gas /oil ratio correct? Are the spark plug wires hooked onto the spark plugs correctly? Are all the wires (sensors and such) plugged in / together? (have him check every connection - there is a main connection from the throttle control box (usually a big red plug - make sure it is in and tight) Have him shoot some pre-mix into the mouth of the carb and see if it sputters when he turns it over, if it does kinda start then he has a fuel problem somewhere - if not, it is a spark problem That engine is simple and bullet proof so I bet it is a loose wire [/QUOTE]
