E200TXECM 1998, I had a problem several weeks ago when flywheel key was sheered, replaced key also pulled head gaskets just to check. All looked good. Put everything back together ran compression check and 5 are at 90 and one is 85. Started it up and set timing all was ok. I left the battery on for a day or so and tried to start but low battery and wouldnt turn so I set to two batteries. I forgot to turn key off and attempted to start agian now no spark on any cylinder. Did I blow the power pak?

What about the kill switch position? I know it is stupid question. But it wouldn't be the fist time a kill switch caused such issues...

Thanks GM280, I keep forgetting about that little switch. Sure can cause a lot of headache. Took it out of line and it started but timer base/trigger has some cracks in it and last night after sun set could see arching from timer base. But its running
