plugs get wet, and won't fire no matter how much you try. If this is the
problem (easy to check by pulling the plugs) pop in a fresh dry set, and
often it will fire up straight away.

You can dry wet plugs out by holding them over a gas flame for a few
minutes. Clean off any carbon buildup with a wire brush at the same time.
Wire brushing is not recommended by the factory, but a clean, dry plug
is 100 times better than a wet carboned one !!

I had the same issue with spark plugs. After good cleaning it started with no probs. Try to clean plugs!

Fun is not the straight line!
