One other potential reason - we had a minor flood from Hurricane Hermine a month ago which could have submerged the stator in saltwater but when I opened up the case, it was initially sealed quite tight and there was absolutely no evidence of any water in there - it was all nice and clean and shiny and was probably never opened up since new so I doubt that has any bearing on the no spark issue.īlaine, Thanks for the link to the service manual, I will try some of those suggestions.

So how do I tell whether or not this is working?Ĭould this be from a bad condensor? Any other reason not to measure any output from the generator or am I doing something wrong? Where do I measure to check the output? I thought it was from the blue wire to the coil, but I get nothing from any of the leads coming out of the generator. I've read that the generator/magneto is supposed to put out 6V when the crank spins, but I can't measure any voltage with my meter (it's AC right?, and the lowest scale on my meter is 200V so is that too small to measure on this?). I've done the research and studied the wiring diagrams and know about the potential horn problems and grounding the blue/black wire to get spark, connecting the blue wire from the stator directly to the coil, etc, but still have no spark. The plug looks good and I thoroughly cleaned it and it looks new and the gap is correct.

I recently tried to resurrect it, changed the gas in the tank, cleaned the carb, cleaned the points (looked nice and clean anyway), changed the trans fluid, and it won't start because there's no spark.

I have not run this moped for 5 years (my bad, I know) but before that it ran great, no problem starting, idling, running at speed.
