HELP g200 LOST spark... HELP

[1992suburban]

Was running like a CHAMP then it quit like you killed the switch...
sooooo.. I trouble shot it real quick and.. NO SPARK... so I pulled the covers and flywheel. the key was sheared but was still holding the crank enough to turn over with pull cord..

installed new key... NOTHING
changed points, condensor, and coil.. fired right up then DIED..

NO SPARK
have not torn it back down to see if it sheared another key.. but if it did... will that cause coil, condensor failure.. soi that when you install new key it still wont spark????

HELP GUYS

Sometimes sheared key will produce spark...other times it won't.
Depends on how far out of time it went.
Keys shear for a reason.
Make sure flywheel nut is torqued to factory spec, no more ,no less.

 

[1992suburban]

that doesnt answer my question though


will a sheared key cause a coil to go bad??

what could be wrong with my motor...

after i replaced points, coil, and condensor..she fired right up ran a minute and DIED again now NOSPARK

Should not.

after i replaced points, coil, and condensor..she fired right up ran a minute and DIED again now NOSPARK

Check if key is sheared again...only then can we help.

Sheared key will not harm ignition systems. I suspect a fuel problem. Did you try a new spark plug?

ITS NOT GETTING SPARK...


I aint gonna sweat it I will buy a 96 dollar clone again!!

I aint gonna sweat it I will buy a 96 dollar clone again!!

And what then if that one fails? Best to solve current problem.

 

[1992suburban]

well.. if my coil is bad that I JUSTPUT ON a new one is like 80 bux

I can buy a 6.5hp OHV for 96 plus tax..

sell the G200 as is... for 50 bux. LOL

I'd pull it back down and take a closer look at everything. Does your engine have an external coil like my G-400?

Whenever you get ready to reinstall your flywheel, leave the key off, put some valve lapping compound where the flywheel meets the shaft, slide the flywheel on and spin it around in each direction for a while to dress each surface. Then pull the flywheel back off and clean everything off. When you get it right, you'll see this machines each surface to help them grip/lock in together much better. I'd probably try to find the corect sized key but lots of 4-stroke race kart guys dont even run flywheel keys after the valve lapping compound procedure. Have you found the corect torque specs for your flywheel nut?

coil and points condensor under flywheel...

what would casue the coil to FAIL???

I just tightened it down by hand.. It didnt run long enough to matter.. and DIED again

 

[BriggsTwins]

hand tight sheared your key, i can almost guarantee it...

 

[1992suburban]

I dont know if its sheared.. NOW

it LOST spark again!!

 

[EagleTalons]

I personally don't think you are adjusting your points correctly.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

You are doing something wrong, I guarantee it. Could it be bad kill switch wiring? Did you put a new plug on it? Do you have a service manual for this thing, or are you assuming things?

 

[BriggsTwins]

Cant assume with an engine cuz it cant tell you whats wrong. give her love not anger, because she will bite you even harder

 

[1992suburban]

DID shear the key again!!!

so I need a GOOD HARD KEY.

and a TQ spec somebody reccomend one

 

[92burbansmilk!!!]

as tight as you can get it plus a 1/4 turn should be enough torque for that flat head honda

 

[freakboy]

hey yall dont want a hard key cause what ever the hell made it sheer the first time well you will know it now when it tryes to sheer it again!

 

[1992suburban]

hmmmmm.... wonder what caused the sheared key?

prolly LOOSE FLYWHEEL as stated!!
