I broke this one myself
After looking at my neighbors 4 stroke generator last week, I thought I really should give my 2 stroke genny a run
It's always difficult to start, but after about 20 pulls she chugged into life
I let her warm up for 5 minutes and then connected a portable heater to load her up
She ran for less than 5 minutes and then stopped
Couldn't get her re-started ( mechanically everything seems fine ) even after leaving her over night
So time to find out why ?





Plenty of fuel the spark plug was very wet, but no spark !
Haven't got a spare spark plug anything like the one fitted, but even a brand new Camaro one wouldn't spark
Checked all the connections and switches with a meter and they are OK, I've even tried swapping the CDi unit which is very similar to a brand new spare one from my Beatch.
Took the flywheel off and there is resistance at the discharge coil, anyone got any ideas please ?????
