Re: Newer motor problem

[wyo307]

Thanks again fleetwin! I currently have the flywheel off of it so that I could see everything. I found in the service manual for the motor that the charge coil should have 800-1000 ohms of resistance and the ignition coil should have 0.05-0.15 on the primarys and 225-325 on the secondarys. The stop circuit is easy enough to check as well. Since it was running then died I am hoping that it is just a ground which would make the most since. On the metal piece of the power pack where the magnet on the flywheel would come by it was all rusted up so I did clean that up but other than that everything appears to be in good shape.

Can I get away with eliminating those fiber washers? I don’t understand why the power pack wouldn’t be grounded straight to the block.

I did notice as I was looking over the motor that the carb cover (plastic) had cracked where the throttle lever pivots where it rides along the mag plate making it not want to throttle up it would just move out of the way. Can I just epoxy this back into place until a new one arrives or will that not hold?

I plan on working on this motor this afternoon so I will report back with my findings.

Thanks again for your help
