    I have a Silverpilen that won't start anymore... The plug sparks and it gets fuel but it stil won't ignite. Does anyone have any idea of what might be wrong?

    Have you tried a new plug ???
    Have you drained the fuel from the float bowl ?? (and blow out the jets)
    Do you have continuity of earth from the frame to the engine ??
