    Hi, dose it still have the stock dizzy ,or has it been replace. ? since the stater will turn over, (dose it spin fast or is turning slow?) let look at fuel or electrical . When you drive home from work shut the engine down, try to start it back up. If it won't start, pour a little gas in the crab and try to start it, if it dose start up, check out the fuel side. If it dosen;t look at the electrical side. Let us know what happen.

    Not a safe way to do that.

    How about manually pumping the carb a few times and see if it squirts?

    He however did fix his problem with the starter (which would have been my guess as well)
