ok i traded this thing for my little boat motor i got for free i know enough to work on motorcycle engines i don't know anything about the ignition its first problem the coil was out in it when i got it i put a coil out of my 95 xr250r on it. it worked great till it fried/went out no spark wat is wrong with it? i know it has a pulse generator and a 12v rectifier and dose not have points wat should i do:wondering

Did you double check to make sure no wires are grounding out?
