  1. Check inline fuel filter as well, make sure you have good flow to carb by removing fuel line and letting it flow into safe container.
  2. FUEL SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING Engine cranks but won’t start • No fuel in tank • No fuel to carburetor • Too much fuel getting to cylinder • No spark at plug (ignition malfunction) • Air cleaner clogged Engine idles roughly, stalls, or runs poorly • Idle speed incorrect • Ignition malfunction • Rich mixture • Lean mixture • Air cleaner dirty • Insulator leaks Lean mixture • Carburetor fuel jet clogged • Fuel filler cap vent hole blocked • Fuel filter clogged • Fuel line kinked or restricted • Float valve faulty • Float level too low • Intake air leak Rich mixture • Starter valve stuck open or damaged • Float valve faulty • Float level too high • Carburetor air jet clogged • Air cleaner dirty
  3. You need to determine which carb was installed, i believe the early models had a variant with a second bypass screw. The pilot screw is generally set at 2 1/4 turns from the factory. Good starting point Bud. Generally speaking, if the screw is on engine side of carb, it usually adjusts fuel. If on air cleaner side of carb, it adjusts air. Many times, ( you can tell by reading plugs) if it is lean or rich. Most common problems i see are lean, the idle circuit gets varnish from ethanol and sitting.

  5. The preferred method would be a scope. Dvom with peak voltage adapter works fine as well. Resistor, diode, and led in series will also work. Main point is, we find out if the cdi has both input and output signal, hopefully, eliminating that component as the problem. We are hoping for a poor ground or open circuit.
  6. You can also disconnect kill wire from cdi. If spark returns, then you have faulty kill switch or short in wire.
  7. Don't forget to check that kill switch as well if you haven't already done so. Check to make sure the signal is getting from trigger coil to cdi as well. We know you had signal from trigger, but, is it making it to the cdi. If not, cdi will not send signal to ignition coil.
  8. So, you're not getting signal from cdi to coil. Possibilities: can you trace that wire back to where it attaches to cdi? See if you have signal at the pin on cdi. Test the wire itself at both ends, ensure you have continuity on the wire itself. Your meter may simply not be fast enough to read signal without adapter.
  9. Unhook the wire from coil. Put black lead on good ground. Red lead on wire that attaches to coil. Make sure it is in neutral, brake pulled. (in short, safety requirements met) What is the voltage reading? I believe yours is ac cdi and you should receive an ac pulse. Hopefully your meter can catch it without a peak voltage adapter. It may not be accurate, but, at least we will know you have signal and the cdi is working.
  10. OK sir, got it. Sorry, I misunderstood. Now can you get a reading while cranking on the hot wire that attaches to the coil?
  11. No sir.......im referring to your ignition coil. The one that has a spark plug wire. It attaches to your spark plug. This coil has two separate coils inside. Please see the video I've attached above. I need you to test this coil, both primary and secondary.
  12. Can we revisit the main coil again? Please watch video posted above and provide resistance readings on both primary and secondary. Get specs from your manual and compare sir. Disconnect coil from circuit when testing Boss. The main coil that attaches to the spark plugs is comprised of 2 separate coils. A primary and secondary. Please make sure both meet specifications. Thanks.
  13. I found the diagram. Check the engine stop switch. That goes straight to cdi and could be the culprit of no signal coming out on orange wire from cdi. The two wires coming out of switch should show continuity with switch in on position. No continuity in off position. Between R/W and R/B
  14. If ya can, put stator back on, crank it, post reading coming out of trigger coil. Should be low AC reading. Please post results
