I been working on engines for a while?I just got the dirt 3 days ago.But i was going to take a look at the ignition coil but i thank i might mess with the wrong thang.so help me if you can.is it somethang in my engine.
–It could be a bad pulse coil. It's at the flywheel and acts like a set of points. It sends a signal to the CDI. The pulse coil could be bad or unpluged.
–Could be a bad CDI box.
–Could be a bad kill switch. Always in the off position. Dirt bike kill switches are cheap and easily damaged in a fall. Try unpluging it (it's a grounding switch).
–Could be a bad ignition coil. Easily tested with a multi-meter.
–John B gave a good answer about the spark plug cap not making a good connection. Unscrew it from the wire. Cut 1/4" off the end of the wire and screw it back on.
–Could be a bad spark plug cap. Pull one off your car or lawn mower and try that one.
–Buy a shop manual to learn all the tests to perform and the specs each test should give.
