Chris, there are only so many reasons why an engine won't start.  An engine
needs:
Intake Air
Compression
Spark
Fuel
Exhaust flow
and the timing to be correct for it to start.  Start going down this list
and checking off the things that you have tested and are correct.  A good
mechanic is like a good detective.  You start by crossing off suspects from
your list until there is only one name left and then that must be the killer
(too many Remington Steele re-runs :)

Thanks,
Ken Wilford

Ok per the lists recomendation i turn the valve adjustment screw in untill
it
just touches and then 1/4 more of a turn, AND THE ENGINE STILL WILL NOT
START.  It just cranks over and over and over, but no start ???????
