If you have 12 volts to the amp. arc the wire to the pts, if you have fire the pts are bad if no fire the amp is bad--Bob

Woooooa ladieservice. Check the POWERPACK ground. Very common problem on motors that have been setting and a very easy fix.

Deerslayer, you need a manual before you touch it.<br /><br />Good luck. :)

its a rather complicated set up and very expensive to fix if you do something wrong. points are located under the flywheel. a manual is a good suggestion
