To all that read my last question, I have a 1984 Honda ATC 200s in which it wouldn't start. After inspecting I noticed my jet needle was missing.
OK, I have it in the shop right now and I do have a new carb kit here with me to be installed Wedsday. Yhe mechanic checked all my coils and electric and said that there was juice so it wasn't my stator or other coils causing the problem. He did say the CDI Box was off another ATC, was was working. Then he got to telling me that I might want to change my wiring harness because of a couple of wires that were not taped or closed. He also said I had a wire that was pinched in my pull starter housing. Now my question is to you....... If my harness was faulty, would I even have a spark?(because I do) Or if a wire was pinched (stator wire, in which he said it was good) would that cause me to not have spark also?
At the end of the conversation, I told him about the carb, he said he didn't check it. I told him the kit was coming in the mail, and his attitude changed. Then he wanted me to wait on buying a harness and wait on checking the stator wire that was pinched until he put the carb kit together.
So what the hell is going on, do I need any of those other parts for my trike? Would any of those problems control my spark, because I have a spark? It just won't fire, I really don't know to trust him.
Thanks.
