Is this a 2 stroke?😁

It's an ignition problem, ya Goofball. 2stroke/4stroke is irrelevant.  

4-stokes don't even live long enough to have ignition failure 😂  You can't even wear out a spark plug on a 4S before it's ready for the graveyard.

Yeah I was like you before putting the new pack on made more sense that the stator would be the problem. But tests and CDI tech support pointed to the pack. Going to see what tech support has to say about getting another stator to try.

So in short..... it’s a 2 stroke.  You could have just said yes😀

I think someone else on here mentioned how domesticated you're becoming.  This is a good example.  Women reply just like this to a yes, no question.  3 sentences and yes or no what not in them. :D

What if after all these years you get stumped by a 2 stroke??

So now you're gonna pretend that you weren't being sarcastic?   With your snide smiley and all?  🙄

Ok darling, my apologies.  Yes honey it is a 2 stroke engine, but there's no real difference between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke ignition/charging system. They both do the same thing the same way.

Come on man.  You know I’m dogging you.  

I think what you do on here is awesome.  I love following along and I don’t even know what your doing. Thanks!

Oh I'm enjoying it.  Don't ever think I'm butthurt over a good ribbing.....I live for it. This place would be as boring as Facebook if we didn't get to roast each other from time to time. 

I hate semi random parts-swapping to find the problem with a motor though.  If you don't fully understand what your doing, and why, then it's impossible to have confidence in a repair.  

This one here, even though I feel like I understand the system perfectly, is downright screwy.  I'm anxious to know what is going on with it.
