Default my Motor is fixed

It took a boat service place 2 1/2 weeks to fix my 4 HP Nissan motor..guess what it was..

A,The entire fueling system was clean as a whistle..no holes in line//carb and fuel pump new.
B.Plug had spark when tested
C.vent was open
D. No shorts
E.no faulty kill switch
F. Gas was new and clean
G.Coil is good..so is coil wire

good luck
Sympton..you could pull the rope all day..would not fire

Spark, Fuel, and Air. If spark and fuel are fine, there must have been an issue with the air. Was the choke stuck, was there a vacuum leak, pinched vaccum line?

And here's the solution to the problem.

The part was a new spark plug...

The other plug sparked fine when tested...but under compression it would not fire..very tricky..
