[krakowkart]

Thanks for all the input everyone, yesterday I replaced the battery cables, installed new brushes in the starter/gen, inspected all wiring and used a different battery. Yes I have tried cranking with the charger hooked up. It now cranks much faster, and fires now and then, but still pops out the carb and won't start. I feel at this point I have done all I can without replacing the ignition module. I found one for $174, it will get ordered today.
Thanks again. I will update the results after I get the part.
