Will not fire a spark
I have a CarterBro. go cart (150cc) engine no spark! Replaced the CDI, the Coil and the plug, but nothing, Turns over fine just no spark? The people we got it from have left it outside for some time and thought it was the battery which they replaced and still no fire in the hole! I'm worried about the stator under the flywheel but some local cart dealers have told me i'm digging to deep and waisting my money, they say it's someting simple but have know idea less I bring it to them ($100) just to look at it! Carts in great shape other than normal sighs of being neglected outside. Any advice or advice on how to test a stator would be helpful. Bought it for $250 and starting to worry our new family toy may be a money pit before it even starts.

Hi,
My first thought is the plug wire. You can check it by connecting an ohmmeter to each end and measure the resistance. If the meter pegs, then the cable is bad. Another is to make sure you are getting juice to and through the ignition switch. If it sat outside, the weather may have ruined the switch. Check all your wiring and make sure there are not any breaks. I have seen rodents take up residence in carts, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and ruin an entire electrical system. Let me know if I can be of more help.
