I have a 97 that ran fine when I put it away in the fall and now it won't run. Starts when I spray some ether in the airfilter then dies. What should the compression be? What else should I look for?
you did drain the gas and put freshies in didn't you?
some people don't realize that gas goes bad. i wouldn't keep run gas that's more than 60 days old unless it was treated when it was fresh.
if that's not the prob, then put a little bit of b12 chemtool in the tank and kick her a couple times to flood the carb w/ it. and let it sit overnight.
did you check for spark?
another thing to check is make sure a bird or squirrel didn't crawl into your pipe and die or something!
