Engine wont fire any ideas?

[ollyit]

Hi guys, sorry havent posted for a while been snowboarding for 3 weeks
and have yet to sort broadband at home -

Tried my aux last night, (2hp evinrude) , fresh mix of fuel and oil, turns over when pulling the cord, just wont fire,

Changed the spark plug, check lead going to, sprash of wd40 here n there,
tried without and without choke out and engine in start position -

Any pointers that I may have missed greatfully recieved! - see you solenter's at the church tonight!

Are you getting fuel through to the cylinders?

[ollyit]

Is there an easy way to tell? sorry if i'm being a numpty!

Spark plug should normally be wet with petrol if its getting though to the cylinder. Also pop the spark plug out, hold with insulated pliers against bare metal on the block and have someone pull the engine over. You should see the spark.

Can you imagine to looks of horror on the Bar Staff's faces if it did indeed fire up and flood out the lounge . Dry suits the order of the day perhaps .
