Howdy Jake,

Do you mean that you NOW have spark or that you had spark 40 miles ago? A lot can happen in 40 miles. Wires loosen and/or touch hot exhaust and short/open. Points contacts weld closed.

If you mean that you have healthy, properly timed, spark now and it still won't start, consider contaminated gas, plugged fuel filter, defective fuel pump, etc.

Actually, the first thing I thought of was the choke. If it started and ran OK cold but not so good warm and not at all hot, that sounds like the jets are down.

Why was the battery drained?
