You need to see if you have spark at a spark plug. Pull one plug, attach the spark plug wire to it and have a recent acquaintance hold it to bare metal while you crank the engine over. Don't have a friend hold the plug to the ground just in case he carelessly shocks himself and instantly becomes a former friend.
