Same thing happened to me. Once I changed the gaskets she fired up and purred like a kitten. The gaskets are a cheap and easy fix. Should run you less then $20.

You need to be more specific:
- Motor won't turn over? Does the starter engage?
- How do you know the coil fired? You said "coil"...there are 3 dual coils...did you get spark from all of them?

Was there any major work done on this motor before this problem?
