Re: help no spark

Visually inspect the stator for cracks and/or a substance leaking from it, dripping down on the timer base and powerhead. If this condition exists, replace the stator.

The stator at a fast cranking speed (spark plugs removed) must provide approximately 300v to the powerpack capacitor in order to energize the ignition.
