I'm gonna say this one more time.<br /><br />Posted by schematic (Member # 4724) on October 14, 2002, 02:15 PM: <br /> <br />In some cases, a shorted rectifier can cause high magnetic flux under the flywheel and raise havoc with the charge/trigger coils. Disconnect all wires from the rectifier to see if the spark returns. If it doesn't, its not rectifier related.... <br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty
