I do have a green neutral light everything seem to be working I was just thinking the 99 cdi is keeping the 93 motor and stator from staying running thanks help appreciated..

shadetree 5,543 Posted February 18, 2020 go through all your wire harness connections, and make sure they are clean and tight ?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadetree 5,543 Posted February 18, 2020 from the sounds of it, it almost sounds like its not getting enough fuel too me ?, unless your spark just goes away ?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcsman 1,345 Posted February 18, 2020 Depending on the condition of your fuel tank if it's that close to running out you may be sucking some junk into the carb..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freedomflyer 1,771 Posted February 20, 2020 Just giving you crap. I am amazed at how you guys can immediately diagnose issues without seeing or hearing something. Shows you have spent A LOT of time with your hands dirty. Awesome bank of knowledge here, enjoyable to read about and see folks having success with their repairs.
