When the engine will not start:
1.Is there enough fuel?
2.Is the fuel valve on?
3.Is gasoline reaching the carburetor?
To check, loosen the drain knob with the fuel valve on. Fuel should
flow out freely. Retighten drain knob.
If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before testing the spark
plug or starting the engine. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite.
