Volant1006 34 #1 Posted 4 hours ago Went out to take the deck off & put the plow on for winter. Went to start the 312-8, it tried to turn over, than nothing. Had this issue before from sitting. Hooked up a jump pack at it would start right up. Not this time. With the jump pack hooked up it just cranks & cranks but never turns over. It has gas in the tank, fuel in the filter. Tried spraying some starter fluid, still nothing. Cleaned the spark plug up a bit, still same issue. Any ideas of what to try next? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,798 #2 Posted 3 hours ago Do you have a visible ignition coil with a coil wire going to the spark plug? If so clean the ignition points contacts. They will get an oxidized coating on them preventing an electrical connection when closed. A nail file will get the job done and then drag a clean strip of paper through them a few times to drag out any contamination. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishin4a416 2,259 #3 Posted 2 hours ago I dont understand what you mean it cranks and cranks but doest turn over. Do you mean start? If so pull the air cleaner and spray some gas directly in the carb throat with a spray bottle. I got one that does that and it is getting a new electric fuel pump. Like said above check for spark. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Volant1006 34 #4 Posted 1 hour ago I will try to check for spark tomorrow. I replaced the spark plug but did not resolve. And yes it cranks but does not start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
