I use a piece of copper wire wrapped on the plug to the tester, works to check the spark. Has carb been completely cleaned? And the compression checked. 2 cycle needs compression, spark and fuel to run.
I had one only running on one cylinder and it ended up being a piece of foam that was sucked into the reed valve. Not sure where is came from.

The Carb has been completely cleaned along with the tank and the gas line. I don’t have a compression tester but by visually inspecting the pistons and cranking the motor over it seems to have no issues there. I believe that it is a spark issue not a fuel or compression issue. I may have a small blockage in the low fuel hole but it should still run on the high end alone.
