So all i know is what it wont do which is start. You have attempted to replace the carb. A better way to start this is to know what it does do.
IE when I push the start button i hear a click but the starter doesnt spin.
My first real question is have you pulled the spark plug? If so was it black and sooty? Then i would either recommend replacing or cleaning the plug then give it a spin and report what it does.thats my start point
