Hello,
I hope somebody can help. I'm learning so please excuse any daft assumptions.
I have an old fs80av. I got it running beautifully until all of a sudden the recoil starter cracked and flew off. (screw holding it came loose) it carried on running for a short while then stalled.
I tried to get it started with a battery operated drill. Nothing.. I checked for a spark. Nothing. Changed the plug still nothing.
I then thought I would strip to see if all wires were intact. All appeared fine.
I tested voltage when turning her over and got readings although very low less than 1v and obviously fluctuating
I tested resistance between body and end of plug wire which returned 10ohms. and end of plug 16ohms
Firstly I presume that my cutoff switch seems as though it has had it. as if I test between between crank case and wire I get continuity no matter if my switch is on or off.
however on that point .. excuse really daft Question.. do i presume correctly by thinking Kill switch should complete circuit with ground/ earth to kill or break circuit and stop ignition?
Also how can i make sure my spacing is correct on this? I cant align stator and position as there is no shaft on which to centre the flywheel.
I hope somebody can assist.
