Hello Gent's,
I purchased this kit for my son for Xmas. I worked on this for several day and I have no spark. I read the troubleshooting tips and I first found my magneto had an open, No continuity on my ohm meter. I stripped back the tape and found the smaller gauge wire was not soldered to the terminal. I fixed that but I have "0" ohm reading as in its shorted from terminal to terminal of the magneto. So I'm looking at getting another one. Mine has the Blue wire to the top terminal and the black wire goes to the lower terminal and a jumper to the metal bar of the magneto. I see that the replacement has a Blue wire to the top terminal and a white wire to the lower terminal and a seperate ground going to the metal of of the magneto. I'm reading that I just cut the white wire off and just use the black wire as my ground. My question is if this is a coil/inductor type circuit, Shouldn't I connect the Blue to the Blue and the white to the black wire of my CDI? Shouldn't I be using the coil connections like the original magneto was set up?
Any and all help with this would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Thanks in advance.
One frustrated Dad!
