Engine won't startt. Getting spark and starting fluid doesn't help....

If that works try bypassing the tank selector switch.

Try putting the pump to tank fuel line in a portable gas tank and see if that pumps fuel to the carb.

Yup another good idea.

How long was it sitting? The lines could have drained out and won't prime up, did the fuel pump go out? the cam lobe maybe flattened out or possibly the fuel pump rod is wore.

Make sure you have fuel to the fuel pump first.

Fixed!!

I've done it! It's running!!

Here's what I did, in order:

1. Installed a CLEAR fuel filter BEFORE the pump so I could see if fuel was getting to the pump
2. Hooked a long fuel hose to the IN side of the fuel filter, and put the other end of the hose into a bottle of gasoline. When I cranked it, gas came out the other end of the fuel pump, so I knew that the pump is working good
3. Hooked everything back up, put the carb on, and cranked the engine for 10 seconds. Looked at the clear fuel filter, no more gas in it now
4. Found the fuel tank selector solenoid and started looking around. Found some really cracked rubber hoses and replaced them.
5. Cranked for 10 or 15 seconds. Didn't start but this time I could see gas in the fuel filter
6. Sprayed a little starter fluid onto the carb and cranked for another 15 seconds. Voala! It runs!!

Replaced two cracked rubber hoses. Here's the worst offender:

There's still some sun light left so I'm going to replace all the spark plugs and wires.

That's awesome and was my next suggestion. Did you not smell gas from those connections?
