we ned actual pressure reading on the fuel pump. see if it starts if you squirt carb cleaner in the air filter. if it does, then i would look harder at the fuel pump.

I was trying to get my husband to do that, not sure if we have one of those tools, but he doesnt think its the pressure or pump, but I know you have to have 60-66 psi or it wont fire up

ok, now it has spark.

did it start for a second when you put fuel in the intake??

you can tell by removing a plug and see if it is wet with fuel
