Thanks

Please post the engine Manufacturer, Model and any other codes you can find and someone will get you going. The old saying goes that if you can get fuel and spark you should be able to make smoke and noise. Have a good one. Geo

This is a Tecumseh Basic Troubleshooting Manual, but the basic information will work on all engines.

Thanks guys. I know my post was rather general but that what I was looking for, just a general flow chart. The tecumseh manual was great. Thanks. I'm sure that I'll have more questions and will post the manditory particulars as needed.
