fixing up this sled for my brother. he got it instead of the money he was owed from a guy but it was running good. tried to sell it to a guy and while he was test riding the sled it lost spark. sat for a couple of years before i was asked to get it running for him again. got to it this morning and it had spark on all 3 cyl as i checked with all the plugs out on head as it is a pull start only sled. threw them back in and gave it a sniff of quick start to see if it would fire. no reaction when cranked over. it has lots of compression as when it is on compression stroke, i am pulling it off of the sled lift.

i was thinking replace fuel filter just because and take it apart to check the keyway for the flywheel next?
 

Only need fuel and spark, i’m guessing to fuel, try putting a bit of gas down each plug hole. See if it will fire like that.
