Re: No fire

I would start by pulling the flywheel and checking the points, make sure the coils are not showing any cracks.

I have cleaned the points the condencers coils seem to fine

Re: No fire

If the points are clean and adjusted properly, and the condensers are not shorted, I would think you have a coil problem.

Re: No fire

I took the coil loose and the plug wire came right out of it. I do not think this is normal.

Re: No fire

The coils wires are just pushed or screwed into the coils. Does the wire look rusted or corroded where it goes into the coil?
You can cut a little off of the wire and reseat it into the coil tower.

Re: No fire

every thing under the fly wheel feels like it has oil on. Would spraying some carb cleaner on there hurt anything.
