Something new to wrap my head around,hopefully with you guys. I removed a piece of plastic inside controlbox,then one wire has been in contact with ground,beacause battery was empty. Have now charged battery,but it refuse to fire,that means no spark. Is it possible the powerpacks died from this wire being in contact with ground?

The short 20amp (i belive it is)fuse, is not broken by the way. I dont find any other fuses on it than this.

Dali30, before throwing parts at it, check out all the ignition components to verify if they are indeed toast. Buying parts and replacing things is not a good troubleshooting method or very economical to do either. Check what fires the spark coils to see if it is working. Have you checked the kill switch circuit?

Right before this happend,i removed the old kill switch and replaced it with a new one,the engine worked like a charm and the new kill switch,then this problem occured. Im not in a hurry to but parts,but to find the problem and then buy. How do i check the coils you mean?

But stator and powerpack can potentially be toast when this happens right? I think it was the one wire that is hooked on ti the buzzer in controlbox.

It has no electrical burned smell at all,when lifting engine cover off.
