Default Re: Intermittent Spark

Well.........thank you everyone for the input. I got it finished last night.....here is how it went down.

when the problem began i replaced the limiter and the igniter with brand new ones..... you could tap on the limiter with a wrench and it would fire.....so i replaced both limiter and igniter...... problem began about 2 days after again....

so I tear the motor apart...... exhaust off....side cover off....(OMG what a pain).....and get a new coil.....expecting it to start right up.....nooooo nothin...no spark at all.....I trace every wire checking for continuity..no problems. So in a last ditch atempt I borrow the igniter and limiter assembly off of a cottage owner's cart......try limiter... still nothin......switch New igniter for a 12 year old one.....fires up nice thick spark........The NEW igniter was bad......i could not believe it......

So I guess this is a word to the wise.....never assume anything.... again thanks for all the input
