Re: It kept stalling now its not even starting.

no fuel, no spark or no compression = no vroom. one is missing.

Re: It kept stalling now its not even starting.

could be alot of things, you need to do some test first, like see if it is getting gas, see if it is getting spark, and check plug first.

If the plugs look wet, smell them to see if it smells like oil or gas. if they look fine find a way to watch the spark to see if it looks good
