Hello,

Does anyone know what the problem could be with my motor? Here's what I've found thus far.
- No spark
- coils appear good after testing
- points have power
- Starter checks out good
- Has CDI BOX, but I don't know how to test that

Could it be anything else? Does this motor have a kill switch or something that can potentially stop the engine from getting a spark?

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jon

Battery is dying. Starter hogs all remaining power and no more juice for ignition. (most likely)

Plugs are fouled or burnt- unlikely but pull them and have a look.
