ATC70 drove through a puddle and lost spark

[Quinc]

The flywheel or stator has an eccentric cam lob built into the center hub which opens and closes the points. Points need to be set / adjusted to open at the "F" flywheel timing mark to run. I've added a pic of a modified / machined flywheel a fellow member "KASEY" posted on the site many years back. Setting and or adjusting the points is difficult for even the best of us.

Thank you for the info!

And sorry I even questioned you guys. Cleaned the points with 500grit and she started on the first pull.

Also was able to get the flywheel off with a steering wheel puller and a little heat.

Thanks for telling us what fixed the problem. I always thought dirty points......

son of a b.. just spraying the mud off with the hose after riding I lost spark again... Any tips on sealing the pull cord, piece of rubber or something that fits nicely in the hole with a tight fit around the rope?

New factory recoil handle will seal it .
