put a few drops of gas down the spark plug hole.put spark plug back in and see if it will fire.This will eliminate some possible problems if it fires.

make sure battery is full, my raptor won't start unless battery is well above 50%. I can bump start it with a bad battery, can crank it over and over with a o.k. battery, but it on't fire unless battery is strong??
