    have you got a spark....is there fuel getting through...is there compression??

    with these 3 things present it should go ;)

    if this ever happens you need to do 3 things.. firest is CLEAN AND DRY YOUR CRAP FILTER that obviously dont work in the rain. second is drain off any fuel still in the carband blow through the jets, third is change the plug..
