so i was driving home from class when out of nowhere i sort of hissing sound came ofrom the engine area i thought maybe i was dragging somthing like a big bag or somthing then i accelerator very slowly and i got a backfire that sounded like a gunshot everytime i gave it gas it backfired i pushed the clutch in and it died i release the clutch and it started back up under compression and then pushed it back in died and rolled off the road. i figured maybe i was out of gas since my gauge is off about half a tank, i pumped and cranked pumped and cranked but nothing i put 5 gallons of gas nothing, gas in the carb and nothing when gas was in the carb when i cranked it over it would give a soft begging of a backfire but no start, so i have air have fuel i am figuring i have compression since in order for the engine not to start more than one piston would have to not have compression and the chance of more than one piston losing compression at the same time seems rare and the startup sound, sounds normal a nice clean starter sound with no unusual engine noise, so that leaves spark, ignition module maybe? any help and suggestions please? i am now transportation less haha
