charged the battery

removed all the gas and put in new
checked for spark o.k

? could the battery be strong enough to turn motor but not produced enough power for spark.

could the coils be bad?

pulled the plugs and they are wet so i figured it's getting fuel

any help would be great

Thanks,

If you cleaned a bunch of crap out of the float bowls, you have to do like Bob says and clean the pilot jet and all the bleeds. The choke on my Honda works by air bleeds that raise up the piston/needle. If your jets, bleeds and/or the piston/needle are clogged or sticky, it probably won't run. But if you have spark and wet plugs, and it won't fire at least once, something is wrong. Either the sparkplug wires are on the wrong plugs or you have no compression.
