I was thinking it might be idling a little low so i will turn the throttle up some. I bought some fuel system cleaner is that worth putting in? I took the carburetor off and looked at it and it seemed clean to me no sludge or anything sticking. When I got it the man said that he had the carb cleaned and everything maybe he didn't fine tune it. I went to a 4wheeler mechanic and he said that the carb sounded like it needed to be looked at because there was a little hesitation in the throttle. I will look up were the stator is and check the voltage to see if that is correct. No it doesn't smoke at all never has. Thanks for your advice i Iike having someone with knowledge around that can help me learn.
Noise could be something as simple as valves needing adjustment. Idle might be low or have a dirty carb rather than need engine work.
More than likely you’re right, but might be a simpler fix.
So at this point I'm torn. After checking for peak voltage at the coil and only getting 5v and 100v min, then at the ICM plug i had .52v with a min of .7 and then at the 5p generator plug I had .75v with 0.7 v min. I'm just barely at the bottom threshold at the generator plug. I'm having a hard time thinking it's a bad wire in the harness but I'm open to ideas... what's your thoughts?
