thanks for the diagram - it is the same one from my service manual - good info.
the air filter is in correctly - checked.
needle in point end first - checked.
very unusual.
it did stop working only after i touched it and replaced fuel filter, plug-cj8, air filter, cleaned carby
it does give a spark against chassis.
fuel seems to be getting to the spark plug.
weird
anything else it may be ?
thanks
greg
