I have checked all fuses and the plug is good condition, I primed the oil so I know the oil pump is working. It cranks over just fine. It sounds the same when trying to start as it always has, just wont start. I can smell fuel so i know it is getting gas. I have around 60 or so hours on this machine, any help is apperciated. Don V.

Have you checked to see if you are getting spark at the plug? Look in your manual to see if there is a low oil pressure safety shut down switch that has to be reset.
Testimonial: "There is nothing in the manual about a reset switch."
OK. So pull the plugs and check for a nice hot (blue) spark. If you have spark, it should run. Check the compression. Get nervous if it is low. When you lost the oil and the engine stopped, did it seize, or just stop firing and sort of slowly stop? If it seized, I'd be concerned that some parts may have overheated due to the lack of lubrication. If it died from lack of spark then that's the problem that has to be resolved.

SOURCE: what do I need to check
Oil level good ? Fins on head clean? Or could be electic componets braking down due to heat start with checking resistance at primary coil
