    and 1.5 amps that is probably not enough to get it charged in a reasonable amount of time(4-5 hours). For a short time (5-10 minutes) you can push 4-5 amps into it. Do not leave it over night that way.

    You need to get the battery charged enough so it passes the first part of the Quick Test.

      I understand the battery needs to be charged but i dont think a dead or bad battery is the cause of my problems but i could be wrong. What trouble shooting do I need to do to find the problem

      I checked for spark holding the plug next to the engine and it had spark. What next?

            Actually I was making a stronger statement although it might not be true. At the moment I can't think of any way you can add spark to a compressed volatile gas and not have it fire. Maybe if it is flooded. Your statement is undoubtably true even though a weaker statement.

              You can get a spark check tool for very little cash to verify that you arme getting enough spark.it should jump at least. an 8mm gap.
