Damn, that is about the identical situation I had last week out at the Highlands. Maybe we can kill 2 birds with one stone. I've eliminated fuel issues at least up to the carbs.

It's not a fuel issue definitely electrical , the way she was running definitely electrical. What motor do you have?

Go to harbor freight and pick up a fire fly type spark plug tester, less than 5 bucks
https://www.harborfreight.com/90-in-...ker-63593.html Run it on the hose to see if it’s firing on all cylinders Is your tach acting wacky |

I should probably start a new thread so not to hijack this one. but yes as I was playing around with fuel lines and such the tach would read zero at times and work normally at others

Tach was good, I had the stator replaced 2 years ago along with the trigger but I have had issues with my stators,
I must have had them replaced 5 times and one within a year. Can a switch box be tested?

Only way i know is to swap it and if problem goes to other 3 plugs, its a bad box..
Also if you replace one, might as well do both |

Yes phat but does the stator fire three plugs on one side what I mean if I'm losing three plugs on one side I know it could be a switch box but can a stator do the same thing?

I am not a mechanic, but the way i understand it, if your motor is charging, your stator is working.
The switch boxes are like a distributor on a car, sends the fire to the right plug at the right time. Have u determined that it is only hitting on 3 cylinders? |
