Savager, No I meant Hold the clutchbell with a finger, like push down on it so it wouldnt move at all, Then take the other hand and wiggle the spur, One of the two have to be tight down with pressure from your finger so you can see if it clicks. Later
 
Oh okay, Sorry, I must have read it wrong. You said spin something, When I was meaning wiggled, But I think you probably have it. Also as some of the guys mentioned, The paper trick works, But I just wiggle the spur and clutch holding one down while doing it. If it ticks, Its good.
 
Like I said when you run a pieace of pinter paper inbetween the spur and cb it should krinkle the paper tight but not rip it..or cut it.. its like useing plasti gauge
 
ok thanks guys. imma move the engine to make the mesh work tomorrow since its 9 30 here. ill let you guys know how it turns out.

while ur at it check ur clutch shoes to make sure theyre still in one piece ..or the spring is still holding one of them

NOTHING. i get the hair dryer, heat it up for baybe a minute. nothing. blow into the fuel tube that goes into the tank from the pipe. that one usually always works. nothing. put my finger over the pipe start pulling. nothing. maybe its flooded. i do everything necessary to un flood it. nothing. do everything again even the hair dryer.

Interesting, Take out your glow plug, Put it in the ignitor and see if it glows, Just DONT put your finger over the coil lol... You'll get a good little zap. So make sure your finger is away from the center of the glowplug. Thats the only thing I can think of is a dead glow plug or dead ignitor.
 
no i forgot to mention that. i did that too. it was bright orange. i have a brand new glow plug too. i jus put that one in the igniter too to compare. same thing. ill try again today.
