Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I stripped and cleaned the carburettor now the engine won't start. Spark is there and plugs are wet with petrol. What could be wrong.

1 Answer

Not exactly sure what you did. Go over everything again in reverse to make sure you put everything back in the correct place. Make sure you didn't disturb wires during the removal of the carburettor.
