[QUOTE="Rat, post: 126194, member: 1914"] Pull the plugs and check the cylinders for corrosion, you can use a flashlight or a bore scope to check the cylinder walls. You proly don't have a problem there tho, but I would check. Make sure the plugs are gapped right while you have them out. Rebuild the carb, don't just clean it. Check your fuel lines for blockage and leaks (air) and make sure you are getting spark. You can get a spark tester at Autozone, sometimes they will let you borrow it. Make sure you are getting spark and fuel, then go from there. Get a manual for the motor and do a link and sync. ALL of this will only take a few hours of time and less than $100 in parts proly.
