hey guys, I am working on my uncle's honda 250 es.He said that when he bought it the guy cranked it and it run good, loaded in the truck and brought it home. Said it would not start. there is no fire. So where is the best place to start looking for the problem? thanks Joe

check all your wire connections I have had 2 of these do the same thing and it was a bad connection. also if the starter won't work check the reverse/neutral wire on the bottom of the motor under the kicker

check the 2 wires at the bottom of motor, hooked up good, sprayed with contact cleaner. I guess my next move is a new coil....... thanks guys

Test your coil with a ohmmeter first, those things (coils) are not that cheap and I'm always worried about what you wind up with from e-bay. Not sure what the readings are suppose to be on that one, somebody with a manual can probably chime in. Also check that the spark plug cap is well seated and twisted into the plug wire, they sometimes work loose.
Check all the wires starting at the alternator wires with a voltmeter and work you're way out from there, testing at each wire termination/connector.
Coils are hard things to kill and if it ran just before you brought it home I'm guessing like the guys above that the wiring somewhere got loose.
