Answer 1

If it is carbureted, I would buy a spray can of startinjg fluid, and spray it into the carb while cranking, if it starts, your problem is the fuel delivery. Also,if it is frozen, and a carb motor, you should be able to have someone pump the gas and be able to see whether it is dumping in fuel or not.

Answer 2

wont crank?....................has nothing to do with fuel...........check to see if your vehicle has a crash sensor..........it will kill power to your fuel pump in the event of an accident........but that still does,nt explain WONT CRANK......check all electrical connection,s ....[ battery,starter,ignition switch,etc.] if your saying crank,s but won,t start..........check for power at the fuel pump. fuel line icing is not much of a problem anymore.....since all the gasoline contain,s 10% ethyl alcohol.
