Re: Help! Engine Won't Start...Sih

I'll grab some starter fluid. Need some around here anyway.

So, to check spark, just pull a plug wire and hold it to the exhaust manifold or something and see if it it sparks?

I will definitely check for loose wires; I didn't think about that one. That has been a bit of an issue with this rig (should have put in a new wiring harness).

Thanks guys; I'll go out this afternoon and start working through the suggestions.

I wouldnt recommend HOLDING the spark plug wire to the exhaust, just lay it there, so it makes contact to ground
