    Ok, changed out the stator, still no spark in top cylinder. I swapped out the coil pack and top now has great spark…….. finally…… I guess the coil pack was messed up. That being said she is running really rough. I tried adjusting the idle screw as well as throttle linkage on carbs to get it...

    Not yet, when I get some time off work I’ll try it and get back to you with the results.

    All the wires are in the correct spot. I took it off and no breaks in the wires anywhere. Only thing I see is the plastic on this coil is dark like it got hot and none of the other coils are like that. Also this one is square, is that the trigger coil? I however find that the connect to...

    I do have the old stator and I’m probably going to throw it on. I watched some videos and tested the black wire- brown whire for ohms and I’m getting noting on the new stator I have on there. The old stator has 250ish. My understanding is the new stator is bad.

    Alright so I went ahead and got a new power pack. Slapped it on and the exact same thing. No spark too cylinder and bottom cylinder had strong spark/ will run the motor alone with lots of gas at start up. Swapping the ignition coils didn’t change= only bottom cylinder spark with both coil packs...

    I replaced the stator. Put the new one on in the same place as the old one. It has set bolt holes in the amateur plate. Wires come down in the same place and everything like the old one. I could pull the flywheel and check everything again.

    A B and C are correct. I did have the orange backwoods before your help. But the grounds are matched and the orange is the orange to ornate and orange/ blue strip to top cylinder. I even pulled the connectors apart and made sure they were clean and seated all the way which didn’t help. I do...

    Yes sir I did, I took the whole coil/ wire from the bottom and put it on the top and the top on the bottom.

    Ok I put the blue stripe to the top and I’m having a different problem now. Motor will slightly run but only when the idle advanced it set all the way to start. Top cylinder seems to not be firing. I swapped coils around and still the same. I pulled the top plug off when the motor was running...

    That’s good to know and I think what my problem is. This is the diagram I was using and it dose not specifically say what is what so I never realized. It’s pretty obvious now that you suggested it that there is a set order it would need to go. I don’t know what I was thinning. I’m going to...
