Hi guys,
Bought a used non-runner for cheap, with no spark.
So I've tested the kill switches, neutral switch, etc.
I've tested resistances on the CDI and they were way off, so thought that was the issue. Saw a video only of a guy heating up a CDI in the oven to fix it, tried that and the resistances came pretty much back into line.
So after bolting the CDI back on, I cranked the engine using a drill to check for spark. Still no spark... Until I messed with the kill switch.
I noticed that while cranking, every time I turn the kill switch on and off again I get a spark.
The spark is only when I mess with the switch, and not in necessarily in time with the engine.
Any thoughts?
Does it sound like a trigger coil, or cdi is at fault?
Should I bake some of the other components? Resistances on the other components are in range of the specs.
