As long as you have fire arcing the system but none when your cranking it over you definitely have a bad trigger.

Hi sorry it took me so long to get back but every thing is back together and I started the motor up only for a few seconds (2 to 3 seconds) and she sounded good now I have to tweek it in try to get it right. I would like to thank everyone for the help that was given and time spent on me and my motor. Thanks. Bob
