Check the ignition switch first and foremost. Just fixed mine. Took the ignition switch apart and the contacts where black with electrical arc residue. This explains the intermittent starting. Used WD40 sparingly.Cleaned up the lock cylinder while I had it in my hand. It also works like new now. Problem fixed. Didn't cost a dime.

I'm in kinda. Same jam I can turn it over all day it seems but have fuel air and fire I swear it sounds like timing is bad but belt turns with gears. I squirt ether starter fluid in but no luck no fire up...... It. Drags badly when turning it sounds wierd. I did get it to fire up once after a whole can of ether ran goodish but got hot... This is why I suspect timing.
