Hi Cheryl,

I suspect the carburetors need cleaned again. It's possible that it could be a dead battery, or other simple problem. Usually after a few weeks of non-running, the carbs are obstructed. Did a professional clean the carbs?

Can you remove the spark plugs and describe them to me? I need your email address to send you information files, such as spark plug images and carb cleaning files for you review.

Respectfully,
