What is this? LIFAN

Hello all, I normally restore Garden Tractors, but I was thrown a curve this weekend. My buddy bought this for $50 and wants me to get it running.... Oh my Grandson wants me to get it running too. So far, Pull starter works, has compression, no fire. PO had shorted the key switch, and put an external start push button. I re-worked those switches, but with a battery connected, I get na-da. I see this has a remote control module. I have completely re-wired LGTs but I am somewhat stumped with this.

find a wiring diagram and get rid of the remote cut off module, if it still has no fire I would suspect the cdi box.

New battery, and it turns over. I places a spark plug tester on the plug. no spark. Searched for a diagram, found the ones listed here, but no match. Ill take it back to him and recommend he takes it to a shop. I'm going back to garden tractors.

all they have is the stator and pick up coil under the left cover, and a rectifier/regulator, cdi box and coil, some have a resistor for an electric choke or something, I cant think of anything else, , other than that its wiring or switches. stator and pick and rectifier and coil are pretty easy to check if you have a manual. if they check good change the cdi, if its a 4 or 5 pin ac you can get one on flea bay for 5 bucks, and a 6 wire ac or dc for about 10, I just fixed a little arctic cat 90 with no fire. it was the cdi, I had an arctic cat 250 a while back that lost fire when it got hot, it was the rectifier,
