[QUOTE="nccatfisher, post: 324932, member: 10811"] There is a start circuit on your switch and a run circuit (pole) If you aren't getting fire to your run pole when it is turning over (cranking) it won't ever start. You need to get a 12V test light and make sure that you have your switch connected correctly to start with. I saw where you said you had spark at the plugs. Have someone crank the engine and mix some fuel/oil (proper ratio) in a spray bottle. Mist this in the carb while holding the throttle wide open (motor on muffs or in a barrel) if it fires you have a fuel delivery issue, not electrical. [/QUOTE]
