It will crank but not turn over. Checked the spark plugs and they are good. Checked fuel line and it also is working.

Hi,

When you have a crank with no start condition, it usually is the result of either a fuel-related or ignition-related issue.

Take a look at this link.

Here is what I want you to try. See if the engine starts using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we will know it's a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, then I need you to check for spark to the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how to check for spark:

Start with this and let me know the results.

Take care,

Joe
