I've gott'n a lil spark and for a lil while and got good spark for a short time, then nothing. I've cleaned connections to coils and switch box and still nothing. Not sure how to test switch box, stator or trigger. Can anyone help?

Thnx,
Sea Sick

A manual would give you the instructions for bench testing the stator and trigger. There is nothing you can test without special equipment in the switch box. With a DVA you can test the input and output of it. The best test is to substitute it with one know to be good.
