Fire triangle - gas, spark, compression (I know, heat, fuel, oxygen).

I am going to change the plugs tomarrow. Battery is good,filter good,and if stand was the prob. i think the starter would not spin.   thanks though

Well I fixed it.  :thumb: The plugs where bad and it had a broken wire. So now it runs like a little top. Next step is to caffeinate it. Pics will be coming.  :cheers:  Thanks to all that chimed in.
