Time to do a Compression check to see if the engine is good or not. ALso try using pre-mix oil(two stroke) in the spark plug holes to help build compression for it to start up.

You can find a compression tester at Autozone for 15-30 dollars. All you have to do is hold down the pressure releif valve so it reads all three pulses.

You can PM or IM me. I don't usually give out my phone number to forum members though. I don't like running up my long distance. If you have an instant messenger I have most of the popular ones and we can talk though those.
