Had the engine since the 4th. 1st all my connections are soldered. Saw the cheap connection from CDI to plug..cut it off and replaced it with the spring type, came off of an old lawn mower. Had a problem not starting, I..took screw out of bowl and had fuel flow. Removed plug to check compression and spark..good compression, no spark. Took a test light connected to ground and each lead...dead coil. Had a coil in 3 days and the road is on fire. Another thing...this engine is painted black, last time I get a painted engine...spilled fuel on the engine, and when the engine gets to operating temperature I have a dripping mess, that paint won't come off my hand with soap and water, so I know it's not oil. Never seen a easier engine to either diagnose or work on. Will be getting another one so I'm running it like I stole it..lets see if this thing comes apart.
By the way...I haven't replaced a plug yet, haven't checked if the auto parts can crossover the number...what number NGK plug are you using and if anyone has had problems with a replacement plug. Had a Suzuki that wouldn't run on ANY plug besides a OEM.
