Imagine that!

1.5 years ago same issue, had the shop repair it with a new carb. I use non-ethanol gas w/pre-mix and some 50:1 commercial gas cans.

I installed a new carb. The spark plug is new. The air filter is new. It will still not start.

With my spark plug tester I am getting spark. I have VP racing 50:1 gas in the tank. What might I look at next?

That fuel could be the problem. Is that the 100LL octane fuel ?

Some lower compression engines will not run with that fuel.

I have VP racing

Check the compression. You want at least 110 psi, but I prefer 120 psi myself on 2 cycle. Carbon scoring on piston or cylinder is a big issue.
