Start at you spark plugs, Rebel Duck. Are they wet or are the carboned up (sooty with deposits)? Wearing rubber gloves hold one against the bloce while you turn her over. . . .hot spark? You should be able to get the spark to jump about a 1/2" gap.<br /><br />If your plugs are wet, you probably have no spark. Clean, gap or replace the plugs and check again. Still no spark, you've run out of JB's Mercspertise.<br /><br />Dry plugs that make good spark is more likely. Dismantle and clean fuel pump and carb(s). If you find gunk or brittle gaskets/diaphrams put overhaul kits in.<br /><br />The above will fix 80% of bugs. If yours turns out to be a 20%er get back to us.<br /><br />Red Sky......<br />JB
