probably wrong with the fuel system or ignition system.
Fuel Supplying Check
1. Make sure there is adequate fuel in the fuel tank.
2. Check that the engine stop switch is in the “RUN “ position.
3. Check that the fuel valve is in the “ON” position.
4. Make sure there is enough fuel reaching the carburetor from the fuel tank.
a. Loosen the drain screw which is located under the carburetor. Drain the
fuel from the carburetor into a container.

d. Loosen the drain screw and check that the carburetor is filled back up
with fuel.

WARNING
Draining fuel from the carburetor could be hazardous.
Fuel could catch fire if you do not handle it properly.
When draining the carburetor, be sure to shut the engine off. Do not
smoke, and never drain or refuel in an area where there are open
flames or sparks. Do not spill the fuel or you may create a fire hazard.
Dispose of drained fuel properly.
