Drain petrol into a glass jar, let it settle for half and hour. If you
see it separate into two parts then likely you are trying to start it
with water! Also check any petrol you have in a can. Shake it up first
and pour off a glass jars worth.

Also don't use any old (6 to 12months) petrol unless perhaps you have
added a fuel stabiliser additive
