[QUOTE="Jim311, post: 368878, member: 15289"] Are you checking spark on both coils? If no spark on either of them check to make sure it's not your kill switch that has failed or is intermittent. Generally you can just disconnect the ground from it to diagnose it and eliminate it as a problem. If it's not a coil and it's not a kill switch, it could be a bad stator OR powerpack, but I ain't smart enough to diagnose how to figure either of those out. I generally just throw on a new powerpack. I have found that throwing parts at motors is still cheaper than paying a real mechanic :lol: [/QUOTE]
