HELP PLEASE new engine i have fuel and spark still wont start
hey I bought a new engine for my quad and have hooked everything up I have spark and gas as I pulled the plug and gas was on it but it won't start just keeps cranking. now it is a new motor so I have not tested compression but you can feel it pushing the air when trying to start

It is possible the engine has been assembled wrongly, timing out, valves not set right etc, but most likely, it hasn't got the right fuel/air mixture. Fit a new plug, even if your old one was "new" a dry plug may do the trick. If it has a manual choke, try without any choke. If auto, and doesn't start with the new plug, try with a hand over the air intake, in case the choke isn't working.

so it is a manual choke and have tried it with the choke open and closed and still nothing it started once but died the minute i took my thumb off the throttle.
Going to try it again later tonight will post progress i did have to replace the 12v regulator because with it i had no spark then i removed it and and spark returned would that have anything to do with it.

I had the same issue with a new engine. got it fired up once using quick start but had to feather the throttle. Then i could never get it to start again. It backfired so hard it blew teh back of the muffler off and 50 feet into the yard.. I figured timing was way out.. Ended up selling it as i did not want to dig any deeper.
