Stator or trigger. If you have a multimeter go on YouTube. Couple of good videos on checking both. Some are on 4 wheelers but same principal.

If you’re getting spark it should jump at least 3/8” inch

Like already mentioned, try squirting some fuel down the carb's throats. Or get you some 2 cycle starting fluid at your local auto parts store.

check and see if you sheered the fly-wheel key,but im thinking if that happened you might not have spark.But could be wrong.for grins check your timing any way...

was running good at wot but would not idle. did the carbs, that did`t help saw spark looked inter minted, changed power pack and coils eng started and seemed ok then shut off and wont restart. after a lot of research i found this eng has sator and rectifier for charging battery, a charging coil for ignition and trigger coil for timing. I think the charging coil or trigger is bad. will check them out when i get home.
