Video did not work but Fuel and air and electricity is what makes a motor run. Without any one of the 3 you will not have a running motor.

You forgot another very important requirement, COMPRESSION. No COMPRESSION, no RUN.

And timing, here how I was taught the reminder:

"When air and fuel are brought together, in the right amounts, at the right time, under pressure and spark is applied you will have combustion."

Whenever I'm troubleshooting engine problems I always hearken back to this statement.

Didn't see the link - often if there is anything copyrighted in it and somebody complains they are deleted.
