Start verifying spark, fuel, air. Let us know what you find.

As for the list all suggestions... I can go put a bunch of suggestions in a hat and pick one for you, but to list them all for you... Well, I'd rather write the book and see if I could get published. You have to start the diagnosis yourself as there are waaaaayyy too many things it could be at this point.

If you don't already have one, a manual would come in really helpful right now.
