Does the motor crank???

Is the flywheel stuck on the bell housing??

You have already converted to 12 volt??

Is the starter motor meshing with the flywheel??

Just tell us if it can turn over by hand

Do you have the fuel lines around the wrong way?

Caught me once.

The early tall fuel pumps goes in one way (from the top?) and the shorter genny style is the other way (from the bottom?)

Do you pull the fuel pump??
The rod is there??
The right one??

IS the bowl full?

If you dribble petrol down the throat does it try to kick??
