I have read your note. Don't get your underwear in a knot. The problem presented is simple, have patience. You most likely have one of two problems...wires crossed or a bad distributor cap. The firing order is stamped on the engine on the side just behind or to the rear of the generator. Trace your wires and make sure they are hooked up in proper order starting with #1...which is up front #4 is in rear. Take the distributor cap off and tap the starter and note the direction of rotation of the rotor button. Then check your wires beginnign with #1 in the same direction as the rotor rotates. The second wire should go to cylinder #3, the third to #4 and the 4th to #2.

If the wires are correct, take the distributor cap off and check it closely for cracks and moisture--even fire ants...Make sure the contacts and the rotor are not burned up. If you see problems, replace the rotor and cap.

Lastly, if all of the above checks out, I would then consider fowled plugs and bad plug wires.

If you go through all this and get it correct, It will run.
