hi, i cant get my warrior started...how do i test for spark? i thought you just take out the plug, put in the wire and start it and your supposed to see spark at the end of the plug.....is this correct? if this is correct, and there is no spark, what is the likely culprit on a 98 warrior...thanks alot for everyones help...

 

Do all of that!!! Expect hold it near a piece of metal to see the spark...it shouldd be a nice blue spark...your frame or exhaust will work fine for holding it up against.

 

you unsrew the plug from the cylinder leave the wire on the top of the spark plug and just lay it against the cylinder in your view and turn over the engine and you should see a blue spark at the end of the plug, if you see a spark you have spark if you dont see a spark you dont have spark[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Check all your switches wiggle them shake them . Also try a different spark plug I have seen plugs fail . Could be Coil or CDI HArd to pin point from here
Good luck

 

Ok, whatcha do, is you grab a hold of the plug, still in the plug boot and press the E-start button, this is a good indicator, lofl, jk, dont do it, it will shock the pi$$ out of you, my hand was barely touching the plug when my friend kicked it and man, it was shocking. Do what they said above.

 

Ha ha ha ha..........you beat me to it Hondaracer305!!!! I had a MSD 7AL light me off once; my friend that was there said it looked like I was praising the Lord!!! Both my hands were in the air waving around!!! Ha ha ha......

 

lol I know what you mean, I will never forget the night i upgraded the ignition on my mustang,,, wow what a shocking experience!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

I have had almost the same experience.... where were checking a bunch of things on my friends topsportsman car thought we had a bad ignition box I was holding the coil wire next to the chassis and not paying attention when my friend did something with the 7al I couldn't let go of the wire and my arm and chest hurt for almost 3 days!
