Hi everyone happy new year! I have an 02 500 it was running 2 weeks ago then battery died. New battery new gas but won't start! Any ideas would be appreciated! I'm a welder not a mechanic
Thanks

Had it been sitting for awhile? Does it turn over at all?

Turns over fine. It sat for a few weeks before I replaced the battery.

check the spark plug see if it is getting wet with gas. If so change the plug. maybe the plug is bad.
