Puch E50
HPI mini rotor ignition
push button kill switch
stock Puch wire block connector for all wiring, non of those clamps
resistor plug boot
history:
first time this happened, it ran over 4 miles an all of a sudden wouldnt do over 25mph (normally hits 45mph)
4 miles has now reduced to about 50 yards and no firing at all
testing (recent):
takes a few pulls to start, kinda weak but fires up
tested with a timing light after it quits -> no spark
stator replaced (new) => no change
swapped in a different cdi box => no change
thoughts:
do HT coils ever go bad?
its not running long enough to get hot.
i havent tried disconnecting the kill switch...i hope thats not it
i cant really check the CDI box(s) with a multimeter... maybe they're both bad
motor was completely rebuilt, im pretending thats not causing any new problems
im not sure i ever checked the spark plug
ok i think i have a pretty good list of things to check, yall are welcome to tell me im an idiot and list off things i forgot
