[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 469393, member: 15465"] If you have an ohmmeter you could check that the grounding wire at the coil isn't grounded until switch is pushed. On mine, the carb throttle linkage was set wrong, I reset it so that throttle plate was wide open when the stator plate was at the stop (it was a long way from this). With the carb misadjusted, the timing was too advanced & made it hard to start. That wouldn't kill the spark though. [/QUOTE]
