not good spark but still runs

[kchubb-banshee350]

So just replaced my plugs and though i would see how good of spark i am getting. i cant see that it is getting good spark. would it still run and idle if i was not getting a good spark?? it has been bogging out alot l. could bad spark have something to do with that ??

Yes it could still run with weak spark.

Pull the plug caps off kick it over, you should see a blue spark from inside the plug cap. Cant tell from OP if you did that or not. If it had a bad spark it would most likely be missing and possibly back firing. Does it bog once you get above 1/4 or so if thats the case i would look at jetting or the main jet could be clogged.

 

S10 is right also.

Just stick your finger in and grab on to the bars, kick away. Make sure both plugs are out. So the motor spins nice and free. If it tickles then you have weak spark. If your arm goes numb for a second then your pretty close
