I am having a heck of a time trying to get spark but no luck. The serial number is 3150494. It's been a real PITA. Any help would be appreciated.

What have you done so far? Give us a starting place.

Got a manual, any manual?

I am getting a/c voltage from the stator to rectifier and thats where it ends. The wiring is deteriorated so it s making it hard to pin point. My biggest question right now is, does tha stator run through the rectifier which in turn charges battery and energize the coil? I am not familiar with the setup and am use to the rectifier just charging, not energizing as well. No manual but I have a wiring diagram. What kind of a/c voltage should I see out of the stator at startup?
