Is it possible to have a spark, but a bad stator? I have a good spark, but it wont start. The stator doesnt test withing range w/ ohm meter. I just dont understand why theres a spark?

 

If you have spark, fuel and compression it should run, it is possible to have a bad stator and still have spark though. Is it sparking at the right time? Is the timing right? Is the cam shaft worn ? Take the valve cover off and whatch the cam and rocker arms while it turns over, see if one is not working like the rest.
