I HAVE A 6.5HP Tecumseh Engine. It has a new plug, oil change and filter. There is gas on the spark plug and there is spark, but it will not start. What to do next?
If the plug is wet, it is likely fouled and the cylinder flooded. Dry off the plug and reinstall it. Open the choke and throttle so the carb throat is wide open and crank the engine over. This will evacuate excess fuel out of the cylinder faster then anything. It should fire at least once.
