    oh, and then theres the bang on the gas tank bottom trick if theres no pressure. sometimes a little beating makes it work again for a while. if it does fire up the pump is bad.

    also check for spark. you can take the plug wire off the coil, prop it a inch over the terminal crank the engine, a spark should jump to the wire.
