Spray wd40 in carbs and try. if it fires you<br /> have a fuel supply or choke problem.<br /> If the motor hasnt run in sometime you should<br /> check the fuel system from tank to carbs. <br /> If motor doesnt fire check for spark.Chack the kill switch or ignition switch should be open to run, closed to stop.<br /> Good luck.
