Predator 212 will not start!!!

The engine is about 6 months old. It gets fire to the plug and the gas is going to carb so i figure its the on/off wiring on motor that is connected to kill switch but I am not sure. Has anyone had this happen to them? Any suggestions?

All the on/off and low oil sensor wiring does is stop the spark so if you have spark then that isn't the problem. If you're running gas with ethanol in it likely the emulsion tube and/or jets are clogged or rusty. Ethanol attracts water so if it was sitting around for that long you'll need to pull the jets and e-tube and take a look. Other than that someone else will need to chime in, good luck!

Have ya dropped a little gas in the plug hole and see if it fires?

Agree with cleaning the carb if the gas in the hole don't work.
