Puddin,

That the carb looks fine isn't definitive. Get some starting fluid,
spray
it into the carb throat, and see if it will start. When you store an
engine
for a long time either run it dry or use a gas stabilizer.


To test the spark, pull the plug, push it back into the plug wire, and prop
or wire the base of the plug to the engine metal. Then try to start it. The
spark
should be evident. If it is, you probably have a carb problem.
