True! Seeing how my post was only 3 minutes after yours I can't remember if I even saw yours first, great minds think alike!

How much gas did you "DUMP" in??? I do quick test on mine with a dry/clean spark plug and the tinyest shot of starting fluid. just to see if I get it to fire. If no fire with a good spark and starting fluid, then get the compression tester like the guys said...sm01

Hi, What model engine? Does it have electronic ignition. With electronic ignition ie. magnatron etc. you can still have spark, but out of time if the flywheel key is sheared. Note: above checks first. Al Eden
