After my last post, I realized that I should have added.............
If the starter is whirring, that shows that all the switches are working correctly. That leaves either the spark or the carb. First step is to check the plug. Remove it, reconnect the spark plug lead, & hold the plug against the engine (to get a good ground). Try starting the engine . If the starter whirrs & you see a good spark, then you can eliminate the plug (spark) as the fault, & the problem must (probably!)be with the carb. If there is no spark (or a weak spark) then you need to find out why. (possibly battery?)
There is a third possibility, but very rare, that the starter is not engaging the engine. Can you hear the engine trying to turn over?
Keep us posted, so we can update our assistance. :2tup:
