G,day,

Hoping for some troubleshooting advice on this engine,

1) Started second pull this afternoon!

2) Connected a kill switch & tried to start... realized that kill switch was in OFF position....switches to ON & dosent start.

3) Check for spark (none)....removed all wiring back to where it started previously (still no spark)

May i have damaged something by trying to start with kill switch grounded?

its running electronic module reading 5.2 ohms

coil is at 6.8 ohms

any help here muchly appreciated, its doing my head in!

Probably just flooded it. Normally the throttle is closed if you try to start it with the kill wires together in the old set up but this new set up permits you to pull the rope with the throttle open and letting more fuel in whilst the ignition is still off.
It would have been better to install a kill button that remains on unless you hold it down, to avoid this situation being able to occur.
Try and start it another time ( with the switch ON) and if it won't, unscrew the spark plug and see if it is wet with fuel. If so, dry it off with a clean cloth, pull the rope a three or four times to clear the cylinder of excess fuel then refit plug and try again.

Thanks for the reply mate, but the problem is "no spark" the engine is actually in a mini bike.

First up try another plug and make sure the screw inside the plug cap is contacting the plug
