Gas not getting to the spark plug?

Check the fuel filter. A clogged fuel filter can prevent gas from reaching the spark plug. It is located in the fuel line between the fuel pump and the carburetor or fuel injector. If you find the fuel filter is dirty or clogged, replace it with a new one.

Check the fuel line. A kinked or damaged fuel line can also prevent gas from reaching the spark plug. Inspect the fuel line for any cracks, holes, or kinks. If you find any damage, replace the fuel line with a new one.

Check the fuel pump. The fuel pump is responsible for pumping gas from the fuel tank to the carburetor or fuel injector. If the fuel pump is not working properly, gas will not be able to reach the spark plug. You can test the fuel pump by turning the ignition key to the "On" position and listening for a buzzing sound. If you do not hear a buzzing sound, the fuel pump may be faulty.

Check the carburetor or fuel injector. The carburetor or fuel injector is responsible for mixing gas and air before it is sent to the combustion chamber. If the carburetor or fuel injector is clogged or damaged, gas will not be able to reach the spark plug. You can clean the carburetor or fuel injector with a carburetor cleaner. If you are not comfortable cleaning the carburetor or fuel injector yourself, take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic.
