I did post previously on this but now I know what the real problem is, kinda.
My magneto seems to be working fine, I get around 30+ AC volts between the blue and black wires,
and the engine is properly grounded. But when I run all the ohm checks I only get 500 ohms between the black and blue wires
(red lead from meter on black and black lead from meter on blue) when I should 130k - 150k. The magneto is also soaked in oil, yet it still produces the 30+ vAC.
The kill switch is also fine. All the connecting wires are fine and there is no bare contacts or shorts.
The CDI shocks me really bad when I go fast, but when I put a spark plug on it, nothing happens,
and even when I hold the spark plug I don't get shocked. If I take the spark plug out and touch the contact
inside the spark plug cap I get shocked.
But there's no spark! Why!? (btw, I've done this test with 2 different spark plugs).
