Re: Engine wont fire
If the pump is pumping fuel there is probably just dirt in the carb main jet. clean the carb and go..

Re: Engine wont fire
My '01 was doing the same thing. Pull the carb and clean it. The float bowl was full of gas crystals. Once I cleaned them out, it started right up. Only takes a couple minutes (on my machine, don't know enough about them to know if yours is different) and is really simple.
