what do i check?

I don't know what motor Is in it. I do know that it is a points system ignition. Follow the spark plug wire to the coil. then follow the wire from the - side of the coil to where the points cover is. Take the 2 screws out and remove the cover. you either have bad points or dirty points. Spray some carb cleaner on them when they are open,blow them dry and try again to start. If not call 218-851-0915 and I'll walk you through another process.
