I know the bracket is fixed,but a light love tap with a hammer without breaking the p/u coil may help.. Have done that in the past. Plus the same thing that this guy did,but his rope broke earlier and bent the bracket away. no spark to plug when using electric starter - Page 3 - ATVConnection.com ATV Enthusiast Community Plus touch your meter leads together and see if they zero out or get close. 20% +/- is the allowable amount on the pickup and you show over that. If the meter is accurate the coil may be a little weak.

 

Ok interesting my meter does zero out and I did get the trigger closer about .15 instead of .25 what still bothers me is that it idles so well just bogs out and a little exhaust backfiring actually on throttle it seems to surge oddly but won't ramp up just mind boggling at this point

 

Look at the exhaust cam lobe and rocker arm.. Still sounds like what most of them do,backfire,won't take throttle.

 

Yah I suspect that's the next step just not sure how I will be able to tell without a side by side comparison

 

That's where cheap calipers can come into play if needed. 1.2884-1.2924" (32.726-32.826 mm) is the standard lobe height,1.2766 (32.426 mm) is the limit. But if worn bad enough to cause the back firing,wear should be noticeable.

 

Ok a little intimidated with this step but game to try it this machine owes me nothing and sooner scrap it than foot the bill to have the work done lol

 

Ain't no biggie on cam and rocker arm replacement. The manual can help you on this. Cheap cams are on ebay.

 

Random thought any other test like compression that will give any confirmation of cam probably not as it's an exhaust lobe issue huh

 

They book is good and cam is only like 100.00 just consequences of bad install are catastrophic lol
