I’m currently working on a 1981 Honda atc 70 and this thing is making me want to pull
My hair out. At first it wasn’t giving me spark unless I moved the kill switch on/off as I was pulling the pull start so I figured I’d replace the kill switch and the ignition coil. Did that and got the same results, so I figured why the hell not and just put the old ignition coil back on and cleaned the wires coming out of the coil but I did not put the cap back on just to see if I would get spark by grounding it near the engine and I was getting good spark Everytime I pulled it. But once I put the cap back on to attach it to the spark plug, the spark was gone and I even took the cap back off and the spark is still gone. I found it very odd that the spark was gone after putting the cap back on the coil. I used a test light on the black wire coming out of the stator and it’s getting power Everytime I pull it. Anyone have any ideas? I’ve heard that the points in the start can be the issue but it’s showing me power with the test light Everytime I pull it
