Okay it's not a scooby.....but it is sitting in the garage next to the scooby. It's a 4 stroke electric Honda generator with electronic ignition. Had to free up the starter motor and now it's back together it won't start. Turns over fine but doesn't fire up. Good spark at the plug seems to be plenty fuel. Only sign of life is that now I've removed the air filter I can see it firing occassionally back though the carb. Any thoughts? - wasn't anywhere near the electronic ignition stuff.

flywheel on properly? pickup for timing / spark is on flywheel iirc.

Cheers David, believe it or not we had a bloody power cut the next morning with the generator still not working......Checked eveything again and gave up till I managed to get a spark plug yesterday afternoon. Changed it and it started first time....wouldn't care but the plug was changed last year and the damned thing hasn't run since...Just goes to show.
