Topic: Engine won’t start

  So I got the leak taken care of, so cranking doesn’t leak oil out the clutch housing. Still will not fire. Looking at the spark plugs I have champion f10C I notice they don’t have washer seals. Is this a problem?

  Yes, this is definitely a problem! With no gaskets, you have no or very low compression. Several items are needed to start and run an engine: air, fuel, ignition and compression. If any of these are missing, you have a "no start."
