    Did you have fresh fuel or was it from last year? The fact it started indicates that the ignition is ok, but a new plug might also be worth trying. But I would suspect old fuel first if you hadn't mixed up any fresh.

    yep fresh fuel and she did run for while when i put her back together again will drain fuel and strip carb and clean and try her again,going to check coil m/magnto ect just to make sure.
