6HP Craftsman yard vacuum 4 in1, worked fined up until today. Ran for about 1 hour then stalled and I cant get it to start again...I took apart the carb and sprayed carb cleaner in all of the parts and replaced air filter, still wont kick over....Any suggestions? How can I check to see if it's getting spark? I pulled the plug out and it was soaked with gas, wiped it clean and put it back in, still no start. Thanks

Tried WD40 in the carb, nothing happened...It is not a 2 cycle, straight gas

What do I do if there is no spark?

Leaf blowers operate a little differently than other small engines as they're generally running 100% all the time.
Could be you didn't mix the gas and oil right. Might be old gas and a little water in the tank or it may be that the engine has expired.
You might spraying a little bit of WD 40 into the throat of the carb and see if it tries to run. If it does, you have hope.
With the plug soaked in gas, it's flooded. Likely because you over primed it.

couple of things you can do. you should wait a bit, it is flooded. to see if it has a spark have the spark plug hooked onto the spark plug wire but not screwed into the engine and pull the cord. if there is a spark you will see it.
