Hey y'all, does anyone know what's up with my engine? Recently it made a strange sound then stopped working. When I try to start it, it seems like it has no spark. I have another working MB so I've been able to swap out components to check if they're faulty. So far, the CDI, spark plug, magneto, carb, pipe and throttle are all fully operational.
However, the engine won't start. When I try to jump-start it, it seems to be cycling air so I assume the piston is working properly. My wife reckons it could be a loss of compression from somewhere that's causing it not to spark, but I'm wary of tearing apart the engine until I know what I'm looking for.
Any ideas?
