yea its not the throttle control.......
No, but I don't necessarily think that the two issues are related. If you're 100% sure it's in neutral and it's not starting then they might not have anything to do with the clutch.
Does it crank at all when you have it in neutral and are trying to start it?
yes it cranks in neutral but wont fire up.....just no lurching forward.
Put it in gear, same problem but it lurches forward as if the clutch grabs in sync with the motor cranking....
Fuel pump is fine....has good spark.....what else could it be?
