Hi Jerry,
Check your magneto,sand off any rust with 100 grid sandpaper
check gap between magneto and flywheel,it should not be bigger than the thickness of a match book cover.Always works for me.
Good Luck

Hi Jerry,
I would suggest you check the timing.To do this you have to remove the nut on the flywheel to see if the small key between the wheel and the shaft is sheared . If it is even partly sheared it will throw everything off and it won't start.
Good Luck
