Hi,

In most cases, a crank no start condition is either related to a fuel issue or an ignition-related issue.

Here is what I need you to do: See if it will start if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it's a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, I need you to check for spark to the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

joe
