pull the air cleaner and shoot some starter fluid into it...if it doesn't fire, you have an ignition issue. pull the recoil starter and make sure the flywheel magnet is rust free, then turn it under the mag and make sure you only have about a matchbook of gap between the two. hang the pull cord back on, hold the plug wire in your hand and give it a pull.
