Hey so after lots of struggling finding out the key for the flywheel was shredded, so i replaced it, put everything back together, sprayed some quik start in it and it fired up ran for about 10 seconds sounded nice other then a a pretty noticeable clicking sound. absolutly no smoke from the exaust, it stalled out and i didint want to keep using quick start toi attached the gas tank opened up the fuel line, sprayed some quick start in again and it would not fire back over. so i pulled the plug and im not getting any spark again, so i pulled the flywheel off and checked the key again and its good, but since im running 5w30 and not 5w40 my seals are leaking a bit and my flywheel has a little bit of oil on it. would that stop the stator from picking up the current?.

because i had enough spark to fire up with the pull cord, but now i have nothing. im just dreading it being a stator problem or ignition coil.

Oil seal on my 70 leaked and caused no spark. Take it off and clean it with some carb cleaner. Good luck.

ok so i cleaned the oil off changed it to 10w 40 theres no leak now. i guess the thinner oil was causing the leak. i get good spark. but it still wont fire up.

not even when puting fuel directly into the cylinder.
