thanks grumpy, the control is in the start position, grounded the plug, no spark. inspected the HT lead, no signs of damage. the magneto was too close to the flywheel and redjusted to the suggested .5mm - retested still no spark. with regards to the kill switch - is it the black wire or the yellow wire. I am guessing the kill wire is the black one as it will be grounded when the throttle is moved to the off position right ? the yellow wire is screwed into the top of the magneto.
when you say the ignition module is misbehaving - is that the same as the magneto ? if so, i am assuming that this is something I will need to replace as it is not repairable ?
thanks
