So trying to get my 150 gy6 to start but does not seem to have spark. I have checked the pickup and it has a voltage of .175 VAC. I know it should be between .3 and .5 volts. So tried to adjust the pickup but it will not adjust. It has a gap of over .032. There seems to be no adjustment in the pickup. I can even press it all the way down and when I tighten the screws it goes back to .032. Any ideas.
Update. I dremeled the mounting hole and got the gap .012, problem is the voltage is now only .21 VAC.
Nuther update. Charged the battery and now get .27 VAC. It sputtered but would not stay running.

I'm making an assumption that if you checked the pickup gap that you have inspected the flywheel's pickup pad?
And when your taking your meter readings do you have the pickup wiring connector disconnected?
Also look over the stator to chassis to green wire ground connection for the pickup.
"Charged the battery". That's a red alert. If you have a DC ignition you need a healthy charged battery. A shot charged battery won't do.
As Chewbaca says. new parts aren't a bad thing. I ordered up a whole replacement pack of the main parts. Helps a lot for troubleshooting and is pretty cheap.

Replaced the plug and I can get it to start, but. It will only stay running while the throttle is partial open and then there is a popping from the exhaust. Release the throttle and it dies. It will not idle. Valve adjustment?
The pick up on the stator looks good. All the wires from the stator were un plugged. The green wire was so small I could not get a meter on it so used a chassis ground I have a AC DCI system.
