Re: no spark on plugs

Jberry.... If you can get at the back of the ignition switch easily, remove the black/yellow wire. If not easily, disconnect the black/yellow wire at the powerpack(s). Retry the ignition (spark) with the spark plugs removed. If you now have spark, replace the ignition switch.<br /><br />If still no spark, check the stator under the flywheel for cracks, portions of it melting down etc. If that stator is okay, the only item left is the powerpack. NOTE... it would help if we knew what horsepower engine you were speaking of.
