Stand-by for the barrage of 'clean the carbs' replies to follow....

I'll just mention the other obvious thing...... make sure you have spark at the plugs as well.

clean the carbs

You said it'll fire. Did you pull the plugs to see if they spark, or does it sometimes kinda backfire through the carburetors? You could have the coils wired backwards.

Or you might need to clean your carbs.

if you can get it to fire off on carb. cleaner or propane, it is a fuel delivery problem (most likely).

did someone say clean the carbs.....
