So I done some troubleshooting on the PM700 last night, it won't hit on prime via carb or sparkplug hole, it's pulling fuel because I was able to flood it and get fuel leaking out the exhaust port through the muffler bolts. But when I pull the plug and check it, I get a spark on the outside when it's grounded in open air, so I settled on the idea that the coil is weak and won't fire under pressure.

You just need to put a full skip on there and you'll be fine

Isolate the ignition coil from the grounding side of it if it will fire at that point check to make sure that it's not rubbed through somewhere, Rich was just in there fixing the Killswitch maybe something didn't get laid back down properly and it rubbed through

Alrighty, I'll check to see if that's the case, but if it were the case would I still get fire like I do when I ground the plug in open air?

You you definitely can it will just be a weak spark on both sides The Accidental ground and the ground of the plug

I just tried and I got one pop, not even a hit, and that was it

I am working on one of these right now, and have the same problem. Turns out the coil is loose... It slides back and forth on the post. Can't fix it, it's just plain wore out.

There's gotta be some kinda fix right?

Or drill a hole behind the coil on a leg and pop in an aluminum pop rivet.

Post a pic of the coil to show how much movement it has.

Muffler mod on a huztl muffler for an 024/026

That was with the kills witch wire removed? Did you make sure to tuck it out of the way so it wouldnt accidentally ground on the coil anywhere

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Anyone do anything fun today?

Yep, the picture I posted was of it floating off in space away from the starter housing.
