model 0b179711. Trying to track down a no fire on # 2 cylinder,has fire on the other three. Although the white/bk trigger wire has just about turned to a bare strandard wire I'm still getting a couple of volts on it,the other three trigger wires are clean looking and also check okay (voltage wise). The stator blue to blue/white should be 5000-7000 ohm ,and I'm getting a open circuit ,but with a dva I'm getting 250V between the two wires,on the cranking. Between the stator red to red/white the ohm reading is okay,but the dva between the two wires are 65v. I had the flywheel off and the stator looked okay and I tried to pull the top flange off with a puller to look at the trigger ,but couldn't get it off .It does pull up with a three jaw puller doesn't it? also the engine does start but quickly stalls, and the carbs drip with gas, if I pump too much any tips here. bernie
