HOOKED THE BATTERY CABLES BACKWARDS AND BLEW MOST OF THE FUSES WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED ON. I REPLACED THE FUSES AND FIXED THE CABLES. THE LIGHTS COME ON AND ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT THE ENGINE WON'T START. WHATS WRONG? Do I need to replace the coil?

What you need to do first is check for spark. Pull the spark plug wire off and ground it close to the engine . Have a helper turn the engine over, if you see a blue spark between the frame and the wire then the coil is good. Test the coil if no spark.

Reply back if you need any help.
