Motor will not start when all 6 spark plugs are in but if i take one out it starts right up put the plug back in and it wont start. Is there an electric issue. Brand new plugs and a fully charged battery can anyone give me any ideas on this matter thanks

First, do a spark test on all the cylinders with all the plugs in. If you don't have spark, take all the plugs out and redo the spark test. If that gets your spark back, you may not be turning up fast enough to generate power off the stator with the plugs in. I'd check the battery cables, connections, replace wingnuts with nuts and lock washers, clean all connections. Get a factory repair manual for your motor.

How old is your battery?
What is the cold cranking amps?
Fully charged old or to small might not crank
fast enough.
