I thought my stator was going out,it would run fine for a few days then would lose spark i checked my battery and it was at 50% when i charged it the motor will run fine. When it was 50% it didnt sound like the starter was laging. Does this engine have to turn a certain rpm to fire?

Yes sir, it does.

Many hard start problems are just a battery problem, or a starter problem. It has to turn quite briskly to make good spark.

hope it helps
