Hello,

Okay, for your engine to start it needs three things. 1) Fuel 2) Spark(delivered at the proper time) 3) Compression. So if you are getting fuel and spark, assuming the spark is getting there at the proper time, let's start by checking your engine's compression. I have included below a link for you to go to:

Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
