little backstory...before i left on vacation in december i drove it a little bit around town. when i got back home i parked. came back out to move it. turned over just fine but wouldn't crank. after a few times it did. the day before i left on my trip i tried to crank it up to drive around the neighborhood and wouldn't crank. once, again turned over fine just didn't crank.
3 weeks later i get back home and tried to crank it. same thing. checked the spark plug with a screwdriver against metal and it wasn't firing.
2 days later i go outside and it cranks and runs perfectly the first time. i drove around town for a bit with no problems. got back home and killed it and cranked it 10 times in a row and it started perfectly everytime.
that brings us to today. i go to crank it, turns over normally, but it won't crank. checked the plug again, no spark.
what could be causing the engine not to fire? it has less than 1/4 tank of gas in it but even with that it should at least try to fire.
what is the list of things to check to troubleshoot this? i'm stumped....and pissed off
