No Spark one Day, Spark the next

[kmathies]

Hey All,
So I put my Skiddo Summit 600 2000 Model away after last winter and all was running fine. Throughout the summer I did not start the machine ven once which I know is not good to start with. The other day I went out to fire it for the first time and it would not go. After fiddling for awhile I checked for spark and there was none. I loaded it on my truck and brought it to my heated shop to do some further checking. After letting it sit for the night I went in the morning and it fired up the first pull but only ran for a few seconds. I checked and sure enough / obviously there was spark. I started it a few more times with the same bog down reaction. Later on in the day it would not start and when I checked for spark once again I had none. I left it alone for the night again and when came in this morning sure enough there is spark again. Anyone have any ideas???

Spin it over quite a few time's, It could be something as simple as a film of rust built up on your Mag and playing tricks on you and causing the spark to be of and on. Just my .02 worth.

Good Luck

try unplugging the kill switch on the bars. could be something in there mine did that on the trail was going great. then just died WTF!!!!!!!!!! gave a couple pulls away it wenrt for three feet and dead again. pulled a plug i would get some spark then not and so on. unplugged kill switch gave it a pull and away she went first pull on one cylinder other plug was stilll sitting on the head. rode all year like that never had another problem. by the way anyone got a kill switch for sale?

On the Mag you say there could be rust. Are you talking on the stator itself or on the flywheel contacts? I have pulled it apart down to the flywheel and cleaned those contacts off good. However to get at the Stator it looks like i need to loosen the nut off the end of the crank shaft. Anyone ever taken one of these apart? Anything I should watch for when I do pull that cover off?
