Re: AmF roadmaster not getting spark

Time to buy a different bic lighter. Toss the bad one out.

Re: AmF roadmaster not getting spark

Yeah man as crude as some of the responses have been I would just get out of it.

Maybe find a father and a 10 year old kid who want a project?

The moment you get her running you will be like, "Fuck, I spent all that time and money for this?"

Re: AmF roadmaster not getting spark

your only options are to try to get the points cleaned up as best you can

and prove that the condensor is working.

but like, it's not worth it.

that's by far the worst moped ever, and it disappoints me to say that it's not worth fixing.

Re: AmF roadmaster not getting spark

Electronic ignition...difficult to test for spark.

Try to contact this guy...he might be able to help:

Re: AmF roadmaster not getting spark

Rear light needs to be good for a spark on those. I had that problem.
