My GX345 has no spark at plugs, unable to start!

Did you adjust the float

Drain fuel completely from tank, fuel line, and carburetor... Change fuel filter, change spark plug(s) add FRESH gas... Not 1 week, month or year old gas... (Can't be contaminated, or mixed with old fuel) there will be a drain screw on the carburetor (at the side of the bowl) You may need some quick start to get the engine to initially start up and keep it running with the spray until the fuel system fills up with fresh fuel and stays started.

need new coil pack or have short in harness grounding engine from running. check fuel line to carburator. 1. take float bowel off bottom of carb. do not touch float or pin holding float. crank engine over until fuel comes out of carb. If fuel comes out, you don't have fuel problem. put float bowel back on carb. 2. check for spark. take spark plug out of mower. put wire back on plug and place the threads on head [or metal of engine to ground the plug]. crank engine over for a few seconds to see if plug gets spark . [always double check with another spark plug that is good]. [[ Remember!!! you have to have someone sitting on the lawnmower to start. unless you by-pass safety switch [only do this if you understand how the safety switch works. NOT EXPLAINED HERE!!!]] If spark is present, there is no grounding problem. when engine is cool. 3. CHECK COIL PACK. for continuity. When the coil pack gets hot it will stop any juice to the plug. A>Check temp sensor B> Check Safety switches grounding out. C> Check for cut wiring harnes. [loose wires rubbing against pulleys, wires cut by rodents]. Hope this helps.........................GAS

check to see if you loose spark when this happens the coil could be failing

all ford escorts i seen or had the spark plug wires(ht leads) go in the top of the engines into the head.that could be the problem if your pulling at the base try spraying wd40 on to yer distribiture points proberly got damp on them

Is the new spark plug wet? If not, the machine is not getting fuel (fuel filter, carb, etc.) If the plug is wet, you may not be getting spark (bad ignition module, short in switch/harness, bad plug (yes it does happen with even new plugs)), or flooding due to incorrect starting procedure or clogged airfilter. Stale fuel can also cause an engine not to start as it lacks volatility. If in doubt, take it to your local dealer.

Look for a small silver box with 1 wire on it mounted to the motor. It is a temp sensor and will keep it from firing...Just had to replace mine...

make sure you are holding down engine brake lever before starting
take out the spark plug and try to see if it will spin and look if any oil shoots out spark plug hole. let me know

If the fuel pump is working correctly then the problem is between the tank and the pump. run a fuel line from the pump to a gas can. If the pump is working it will siphon the fuel into your filter. If the pump is fine then there is blockage, broken fuel line (sucking air), or something blocking the pick up inside the tank.

go to the nearest parts store and ask for a helicoil for spark plugs
