Alright so I put a honda sl100 engine on a gocart and it wouldn’t spark soi hooked a battery up to the wiring and used a test light to get power through the wires and eventually to my engine/sparkplug. There is electricity going in the coil and then back out to the condenser and then down into the engine to the points. When I first did all this wiring, the spark plug sparked everytime I kick started the engine. Now, it quit sparking and I didn’t change any of the wires around. (The sparkplug is new). when we had it on the dirtbike frame we had to pull start it so idk if just kick starting it isn’t turning the flywheel fast enough and producing enough electricity or what? should we try pull starting it and dropping the clutch to see if that gets it going like we did on the dirtbike? just give me some ideas please!?!?!?!?

    You could have kinked or broken the wire to the plug. Sometimes, they’re just carbon filled and fragile. You can temporarily take a plug wire off a car or something and try it again. Something just got knocked loose. When your the one working on the job, sometimes you just can’t see something obvious.
