Was getting ready to post something very similiar. Im just curious will a stator put off a spark (when checking for spark) even if it wont start with the kick starter? Mine use to start first kick ok maybe no more than three. Then would get hot and wouldnt start only by push starting now wont even start at all, only with pull starting. Compression good. Lighting side of stator bad, ignition side reading 19.8 ohms. What you think time for a new stator ?
Thanks
