MOPED ARMY

hmmm sounds like i need to take a more in depth look at my electrical. im almost positive its not a short in the wiring though. i have a very simple wiring set up right now. just yellow to yellow. blue to blue and everything else is grounded.

my mower tends to backfire when the plug is dirty or the plug gap is off. It also burns so much oil that I have to clean the plug every time it runs out of gas! I would say it could be carbon build-up, but you said you checked the cylinder, etc. Often times, the carbon gets hot enough to ignite the charge prematurely, and it causes the engine to backfire. Carbeuration maybe? I don't know man.

check that wire that bolts to the points themselves. mine came loose and just quit running, totally. It was all that little wire on the strator came loose.

doesn't the bulb on some peds complete the circuit? ie. no bulb = no spark

harold you need the exorcist that i needed a few weeks ago. hack off you stator plate and thoroughly examine everything. try variations on plug, plug gap, point gap. ensure the nublet on the points that makes them open and close isn't worn too small. redo ignition wiring. it's a puch, i mean really.....ha. no... exorcists are sometimes needed. mcbain probably knows one or is one.

it started once. erratically. when i hit the throttle it went crazy, then it died and i havent been able to start it again. seriously it is a demon bike. I have been busy with all these new puchs we have been getting in and have made it sit in the corner and think about what it has done.

i will give it a spanking soon.
