Howdy, I bought an engine kit, assembled it, and got it to run for about a week solid with no problems. Starting 3 days ago the engine started to get harder and harder to start but once I got it running it worked fine. Today the engine would not start at all. I drained and refilled the carburetor, check the spark plug for spark (tried a new spark plug to make sure there was enough spark), checked the timing on the magneto, checked the wiring, tightened down all the gaskets, tried starting with a lot of fuel in the carb, and fiddled with the choke. Still it will not run. The piston turns without effort and I can hear the engine turn over but no matter how hard I pedal it will not start.
Has anyone else encountered a problem like this?
