I have a z225 that will crank, but not fire. I had this problem before and was instructed by the dealer to turn the wheel on top of the engine in counter clockwise. This worked by stopping what appeared to be a vapor lock in the gas line. This happened two years ago, tried to start today and it appears to be the same issue. However when I turn the wheel on top of the engine, it will crank but not fire. Appears to be the same issue. There is fuel in the fuel filter and tank. Any suggestions?

Drip a little fuel into the carb and see if it fires. If it does you have a carb problem. If it does not, check to see if you have spark.
