it's been getting difficult to start, we've had some humid weather, so no biggy, i thought. last night, it just quit, hasn't started since.
ok, at first i thought the magneto got wet, so i put a space heater to it for a while...no change.
i removed the plug, used a metal strap to ground it. pedaled, no spark.
i wired a light-bulb to the white-wire & pedaled, it lights up. wired bulb to blue wire, not even a flicker. of course, i don't think ignition can be checked that way, just covering the bases. how can i check the blue wire for power? keep in mind i have no meter to work with.
the key, i think: is it possible for the white wire to have power, but not the blue?
magneto or cdi? i vote cdi...opinions? when i can afford a part, i'll only be able to afford one or the other.
