You need spark at the right time, air/fuel at the
right ratio, and compression. That's all an
engine needs.

I'm a lousy engine mechanic, but it helps to
keep it simple, break it down into the basics.

Are you getting a spark from the plug wires?

Are you getting fuel (not water) through the
carb?

If you have good strong spark, you can pull the
air cleaner hose & shoot either into the carb,
just to see if it fires.

Then it's probably a fuel problem.

Just keep breaking it down to simple things. It
could be stripped cam gears, or loss of
compression, or any of the bad things. But
only rarely. Start with the simple things. Got
spark, got fuel?
