So, I had some things go wrong with my motor and I plan to redo it this winter, but I had a extra motor around, so I thought I'd try to swap it in.
I changed over the rotor and stator, plugged it all in and gave it a shot.
No spark.
So I went through and search the diagnostic threads and went through many tests. (grounds, fuses, coil, rotor, and just basically went down the list)
Then I tested the ignition pick up and one side came up like 770 and nothing came up on the other... but then I unplugged the "regulator/rectifier (big plug!)" and tried, but still no spark.
So... could I have messed anything up when I swapped my rotor stator? There really weren't all that many things to unplug / replug.
Do you think my pick up really went bad?
The other weird thing... the gauges only indicate I'm in neutral when I pull in the clutch. Maybe a safety switch somewhere?
