this can be so many things is the battery fully charged,are the connections clean. do you still have the decompressor on the cam,maby your battery is'nt big enough maby the battery cables are too small, did it work,and just start not working? do you know anything about the engine, or is it new to you and it never worked?

You may try replacing the plugs.  I had a snow mobiel do this exact thing to me and i replaced the plugs and i did not have to hold the wire off the plug to get it to quit missing.
