I am not absolutely sure but the plugs look slightly wet. There is gas in the float bowl and I have cleaned the carb a second time with no change.

Battery charged?

Points clean?

Are you using electric start or kick?

Just trying to think of things that may have changed since you had it running...... :-)

Fully. I charge it every time I have tried to start it.

Yup, checked them for continuity to set the timing. Then switched to electronic ignition with now change (but stronger spark) - didn't make any difference.

Electric - my kick starter isn't working.

ME TOO! I touched absolutely NOTHING between the last time it ran and when it wouldn't start any more!

Just looking back through your posts. Wondering about the tank sealer....... Could it be softening and getting into tap or carb?

Did you try squirting a little bit of gas into the carb inlet?

The tank sealer is solid - nothing showing up in the filter.

Will try some IV gas tomorrow ;)
