Best Answer

check to see if it is getting spark . you probably have the "kill mechanism " installed wrong . It's probably grounding out the ignition system. The "kill mechanism" is the cable operated mechanism that goes from the handle with a cable to the pull start housing . Its either improperly installed or out of adjustment.
