Replaced fuel pump, then ran great. Then wouldn't not turn over, checked battery, replaced it, ran great. 4 days would not turn over, checked alternator, replaced new. Now it will not fire but turn over great. Primed it several to start and nothing, acts like no gas gets to carb.

You can see it as well as my I have a devise that wen you connect the devise with a clip to ground and the long end like a screwdriver but pointed tip touching the coil it does not light up. Using it on the incoming of coil light comes on.
