First thing I’d do is get a meter and test the output to the battery. Then output from the stator if all is not well. Other than that, keep it simple like plug health, ht leads etc etc. ignition coil and all that. There might be a compression test in there too, just to rule out anything nasty

Hi. Is the prop vented? With pvs plugs ? Or is there an exhaust bore sleeve ring behind prop that loose ?
