      Check your flywheel to coil timing. The magnets should line up fairly to the coil legs when the piston is at TDC. Also check your compression. It needs to be at least 100 psi to start. Loose cylinder bolts and bad seals can cause the same non-start problems.

      If you still the workshop manual drop me an email (eugenessmallengine@charter.net) and I send you the 50, 51, and 55 WS manual.
