Hi mower fixer,with-out getting zapped remove the spark plug and do a compression test by using a comp tester or stick your finger in/over the plug hole and pull the cord.you should feel and here air trying to escape from the spark plug hole,if not as bruce said check the fly wheel key way.on mine i had water in the tank and carby/cleand every thing and refitted also check the gasket for air leaks where the carby bolts onto.when they go they are a good gutsy motor if looked after but they have a very bad reputation.look at
www.talon products and thats why bunnings dont sell them anymore...ken
