Paddy

Where are you?
What model is it?
What spec is the engine?
What have you tried?
When was the last time it ran?

A bit more info would be useful.

Back to the old spark and petrol suff mate. The spark you got, is it at the HT lead or through to the plug? Just at the HT lead, change the plug. If you're carb is clean, what flow are you getting from the petrol pipe?

Few things to check if you are pissing fuel. Connection to carb, where the top of the carb and bottom meet is the rubber seal intact all way round, blown gasket at the bottom of the carb, finally is your tank and tap properly intact?

If you are losing that much fuel and you checked your spark, don't kick it over without the plug in.
