Re: engine wont start

did you check for spark? Did you check to see if new plugs are wet after several starting attempts?<br /><br />You have to determine if its a fuel or ignition issue.....

Did you have it running with the wrong gas/oil mixture?

Re: engine wont start

When you drained the bulb did you get it back together right.Have you got the connectors plugged on the right way around?it is possible<br />to reverse them and end up with the latch pin<br />in the fuel side.
