    I will keep that in mind thanks but, if the key was missing, would I have compression and spark when I pull the rope?

    Troubles with 8HP

    I also wanted to say, I’m asking about starter fluid cause when I put drops of gas in nothing happened. Maybe have a plugged carb? Don’t understand why it didn’t fire with drops of gas and spark.

    Troubles with 8HP

    No I haven’t had time to check flywheel key and assume it’s important because nothing would turn when I pull. I pull the cord and have compression, spark and a sore arm but maybe I’m missing something.

    Would starter fluid be ok just to see if it fires?

    Troubles with 8HP

    So the safety switch is working then, now just have to figure out why it won’t start. I put 6 drops of gas in as advised but it doesn’t want to start, not even a fire at all.

    I also had plugs out and grounded them, yes I have good spark. I need to know how the safety circuit works or if I can start it without that hooked up. It doesn’t fire at all

    Troubles with 8HP

    I’m sorry, not sure what you mean. I have the spark test lights and when I pull start they light up on each one. I put 6 drops of gas in, pulled a few times and nothing happened. How do I know or fix spark at the wrong time?
