I'm chasing random stalling on a lt80, runs great for a few seconds then shuts down like I turn the ignition off. I'm 90% sure its loosing spark. are coil failures common? Is there any type of low oil safety on these?
thanks, Joe

 

No and no..

 

I'd look at you carb...sounds like the bowl is draining faster then it fills...

 

I will double check that- but it shuts down instantly rather than the tradional fuel starvation shutdown.

 

Interesting...couple seconds isn't much time to generate a whole lot of heat...however, when dealing with electronics, anything is possible...

 

That stupid stock spark plug cap maybe?
Prolly have to ohm the stator and cdi.
