At this point i am not entirely sure if the stator is bad but i am preparing for the worst case.
We were getting a "no spark" rechecked multiple times...i concluded stator was bad.
replaced stator (used a star shape one from a spare engine)
Spark came back, installed Efi kit...all okay, engine started working..
A few days later, it would "catch" when the starter was running, but wouldn't idle, it would die immediately.
I messed with the kit for quite a while and talked with their support. Concluded that ignition system might be at fault.
CDI , stator and coil are pretty much all there is to it.....pickup coil comes with the stator i think.....
so now i want to get a working stator of the original type.
There is spark but no idling, even with a carburetor
