Make sure you are getting spark through the spark plug. If you don t know how to check then, take the spark plug out of the cylinder, plug it into the spark plug cap, then with RUBER handled pliers hold the spark plug cap with the spark plug in it and hold the fireing end against one of your head bolts, and kick your shee over a couple of times.You will be able to see a spark jumping across.That will cancel out the whole spark thing because that will tell you that everything starting at the stator all the way to the cap is good. Let us know how it works out. You might experience a slight shock but nothing that will kill you.
