A few months ago I began this project and in my last post dealing with some preliminary issues some time ago, I warned that I would probably have some more questions once I began the actual power head installation. I am there. Actually, I got the power head and all components installed and today was to be the first attempt and firing it up. The problem: no fire. Didn't hit a lick. No spark at any plug per inline spark tester on each spark plug lead while cranking. I had to replace the flywheel, stater and timer base assembly due to their destruction in tearing down the old power head. I admit that I bought use parts due to their expense or unavailability. Any suggestions on where to start in attempting to locate the problem?
