Spark

[davidsis]

How do I tell if I have a spark, and if I don't what next?????? My engine will not start it just cut out and did not start back up.

i think a good way would be to take out your spark plug, put the cap on it, ground it to the engine somewhere and turn over the engine at a decent RPM. If no spark, it could either be bad plug or something else... there are many ways for checking your situation. I'm sure other people have different ways.

what piano man said i take my spark plug out and put the boot on the plug and just lay it on the engine there and start peddling cluch engaged and look down to see if there is a spark at the tip of the plug if there is spark then its something else if no spark then check the wires going to the cdi usually they come undone

lol.. put your finger between the cable and the top of the
spark plug.
then make the engine go round at a fair force and if you feel something in your finger.. your fine!
