Ok here is where I am at. Picked up an 01 shee that had the top end wasted and suffered from general neglect. Did a lot of cleaning, replaced the top end, and find I have no spark. I have swapped out the coil with a known good one - that made no difference. At three times in the last two days (I still have a carb issue to figure out too) while kicking it we saw a weak spark. That tells me the wiring is good. When we tried pull starting it down the street, the lights worked, so it is making some type of electrical power... bypassing the kill switch doesn't change the situation...
I am thinking it is a bad stator. there was a bunch of crud under the sidecover when I had it off, and I actually had to take a bit of steel wool the the two magnets on the outside of the flywheel (?)..
any ideas on if this is correct, or any other items to check?
Also where is the cheapest place to buy a OEM stator?
Thanks in advance for the help..
