I have a spark, but I wouldnt call it great... but its blue. And she wont start... So I tested the stator...
Red and Green : 3.5 ohms
black/red and green : 0
black/red and red : 0
Trigger coil right on the money. Does this mean the stator is bad? If so why a spark? Can this be causing it to not start? AND- with the ohms meter my book does not show a range... just one number. When is it too far out of range? Im assuming the other 2 readings should have shown something... how far out of range would something have to be to be bad?
Red and Green : 3.5 ohms
black/red and green : 0
black/red and red : 0

Allowable range + or- 20% of any given reading. Trigger coil can be good,but charge coil can be bad and cause problems. If havent done so remove flywheel nut and see if key may have sheared causing flywheel to move on shaft,throwing out of time.
