No spark.

Post by sjleto »

About a month ago I put in a big bore kit. First time it fired right up and idled fine. Turned it off and since then I haven't been able to start it. Originally my starter motor didn't seem to have enough power to turn it over but I believe that was caused by my kick starter gears being in the way. I recently replaced all the kick starter parts and now that seems to work along with my electric starter. Now I have no spark. Tried a new spark plug and that didn't work. Bought a $50 parts spree and swapped over all of its electrical parts and still no spark. Any thoughts?



Thanks.

Make sure the "Stop/Run" switch is in the Run position.

Turns out that when we were checking the starter, a ground wire came loose. Looks like the previous owner rigged it up with electrical tape. Reground the wire and now will begin breaking in the BBK.

Thanks for the suggestions.
