    yeah, i checked the kill switch. my friend said he was riding it, and it just quit firing. he then took it all apart, it looked like he had stripped it, i was pissed when i returned and it was like that. after we got it all back together, i continued to see what the problem was, i do not know a whole lot about 3wheelers, but i do know some. i just need to know what all makes it fire. i know of a couple of things, but i want to know if there is more, so i'll know where to focus. thanks

    well, what he took apart is all back to the way it should be, but it still won't fire, like it wouldn't before he took anything apart. so someone, anyone, i just need to know everything on a 3wheeler that has to do with it's firing. please let me know, anybody!!!!!!

    Do a search on here for " Spark " or " No spark " " Electrical "

    There is " Everything " on here that you need to know, your question is not specific enough.. you'd be reading a book if we all started guessing at everything and anything.

    Wich parts of the electrical did he remove ? were all the wires taken out ? etc......

    There is the CDI/timing advance unit , a stator, all these things and a whole lot more involved.

    gotta find the main reason it quit in the first place too...... process of elimination.

    check for short in the wireing harness. and check the flywheel key.. i went threw like 3 of um this year. and make sure the timing marks line up..... get a manual also.

    remove the plug, put it on the wire and touch the spark end to the cylinder.. crank it over and look for a spark.

    start there i guess.

    ps: Double posting might be an issue... LOL...

    thanks to all, i will be sure to look into all suggestions. and as for why it quit firing, not sure, that is what i am tring to figure out. i hate that it happened with someone other than myself, that what i get for letting a friend ride without me around. thanks again to all.
