Re: cant start my engine
I would think that if there is no harness attached to the motor, it should pull start ok. The harness and key (in the off position) just grounds out the points. With the harness disconnected, the two wires that go to the points don't contact each other at all. Try checking for spark at the plugs - take one out, leave the plug wire attached, and ground it to the engine. then pull the rope. You should see a spark if all is well.
