I have a lance GTR 50 that is about 5 years old. 150 miles.
Got it going for my daughter to use for a work vehicle. It has been setting for a couple years. Drained the old gas. (That was a trip. Never been around a tank mechanism that won't let he gas drain.) Started up. Was running fine. She accidentally pushed the kill button. While driving it around. It did not have a battery in it at the time as we had jumped it. So we jumped it again and it started right up. Then went dead. Thought it was out of gas. As we had put just a little bit of gas in the tank. I put more in it. We ran the starter to prime the carb. It started for about 4 sec. Then quit. Nothing now. No spark. Every once in a while we see a little bit of spark but nothing like it had 30 min earlier when we were looking at it. Changed plugs.
Wondering do the kill switches go faulty so I disconnected it at the switch. Which I believe would dismantle the switch function. Nothing still.
Prior to that I worked the kill switch 40 or so times. I had spark. Put in the plug and it started. For about 5 sec. Then no spark. Coincidence. Started to look at the Coil.
Here is what I saw so far. For what it is worth.
What next? Do these measurements tell anything.
The coil has two small colored wires going into it.
Would very much appreciate some help here from someone in the know. Hate to just start buying parts.
