thanks for all the input!
Two more things that haven't been mentioned in this thread (I think):
Be sure your battery is fully charged; the electronic ignition will quit firing before the starter stops turning.
A LITTLE squirt of starting fluid (or maybe even carb cleaner) should give you a quick indication of whether you really have a fuel delivery problem or a spark problem.

Oh, and in your first post you said that you KNOW the plug is firing.........so putting in a new one might still be a good idea; cheap and fairly easy. And often the very thing that you KNOW is NOT the problem........turns out to BE the problem. :biggrin:
