Always runs great and starts with turn of key. Parked after a drive and will not start since last run. Motor turns over but will not start and run. Fuel runs thru inline filter and got fire with plug out and grounded. Will not run even using starting fluid. All electricals work and battery is good. Car has electronic ignition with electric choke.
Problem with safety switch? Carb gummed up? Has me stumped as car has always started right up and runs great.

I would suspect ignition as well. Maybe pull dizzy cap and take a look inside. Loose connection somewhere?
