Hi,

When you have a crank / no start condition, it is usually the result of either a loss of fuel or ignition spark.

There are other things that can cause it, so, if possible, record it cranking and upload it for me to hear.

We need to narrow things down. Try this. See if the engine starts using starting fluid and then stalls. If it does, we aren't getting fuel to the engine. If there is no change, then I need you to check for spark.

Here is a link that explains how to check:

Start with this and let me know the results.

Take care,

Joe
