While I was returning home from the dump my truck suddenly started to loose power. I quickly drove it home where it stalled up the drive way it will not start now. What do I check first to find out the problem? I already pulled the air cleaner and poured gas down the carb, it do not fire a single plug. The engine has 1000 km's on it since it has been installed.

Engines need three main things to work.
Air,Fuel & Spark

You said you have fuel,I know you have air so it must be spark you're missing.

Spark related:Ignition modulator,coil,pickup in the dist,Distributor,S/P wires,spark plugs
