Conti Sam quad 200cc. Cranks, but why doesn't it start?
For the engine to run, it needs spark, fuel and compression. You can check the spark by removing the spark plug and grounding the electrode against the cylinder head. When cranking, you should see the spark across the spark gap. You could also use starting fluid to see if you have a fuel problem. If it starts at all on starter fluid, but then stops, then you probably have fuel problem. A compression tester will tell you if you have a compression problem.
