if you've got fuel and compression it's likely to be the spark, but if both are failing to spark it's probably not the plugs that are faulty but the associated wiring


edit: by fuel i mean fuel reaching the engine, just because there's fuel in the tank doesn;t mean it's getting to the chamber

after turning it over can you smell petrol in the air or around the end of the exhaust?
