P85 still won’t fire

[michael whiteman]

Stick a Phillips screwdriver in the end of the spark plug boot and hold it 1/16 inch away from the engine. Have someone pull the starter cord and you look for a spark. If you don't see one, grab the screwdriver and try it again. If you don't get shocked, then you have found the problem.

Have you tried flipping the magneto rotor over?

Have you tried flipping the magneto rotor over?

i don’t see what that would do as the engine was running at one point I just had a really bad back fire and it won’t run I am tempted to do an entire rebuild so I can balance it

I’ve checked the seals and Gaskets

The spark plug would be the only thing a backfire might, and that is highly doubtful, effect. Have you unpluged the wires going to your kill switch. That would have been the first thing to do.

Since it back fired really bad, it's probably blown up. You just better rebuild it!!!

I agree but I’d like to see if it’s just the spark before I rip apart this motor as even if gasket is leaking somewhere

But I might try to do that with the other cdi/coil
