Ok, I will try the fuel checks today for sure.

The reason I'm a little unsure about the spark is because I did check for spark. I took out a plug, and set it aside with the wire hooked up, and had a friend crank. It sparked. I also checked all the plugs, which are new only a few months ago, and they are all a nice golden brown colour, very consistent. What bothered me is, as much as I hate using starting fluid, I was getting a little sick of playing with it, and I took out a plug, shot a little ether down the whole, and replaced the plug and cranked. Nothing, not even one little pop. I found that interesting.

I think today I might pop off the oil filler cap and crank. If there was no compression, I should be able to feel the cylinder blowby right?

Thanks for the help! Off to go play some more, so glad I have the day off today!
