First thing is to check gas and make sure it hasn't gone bad, second make sure the carb is getting fuel, open drain on bottom of float bowl to see if fuel comes out, third check spark should be bright blue if yellow or white spark is weak. These things must be known prior to going on. I have many years experiance and have known many to skip over the basics spending a lot of time and money when the problem should have been obvious. Do not assume that just because you cleaned the carb that it is functioning properly. Also you will want to observe the spark plug as to its color and wheather it is wet, sooty or dry. These checks are the easiest and most effective path to troubleshooting. Do the basic checks than let us know your results. TOM
