No spark or weak spark!!!

Well my pitbike has suddenly stopped working. Ive had someone check it over and they have said that the pitbike has continuity (what is this). I have cut the the kill switch off and when the wires touch the bare engine you can see a spark. What could be up? coil?

Re: No spark or weak spark!!!

Sounds like it's not grounded properly

If you took the whole bit out and could see the internals and water came out, I would be worried, hopefully you just meant the flywheel cover

Yeah the flywheel cover, all over the magneto and and stator plate.
But when the wire touches the bare frame it sparks but doesn't carry on through to the spark plug. Maybe coil or cdi?. What do you suggest should I just buy a new wiring loom

Re: No spark or weak spark!!!

Where does it spark to the frame? Is there a bare wire?
The looms on these are easy to work with, There's only really 5 wires off cdi going to coil/kill switch and engine plus a couple of grounds, No point buying a new loom if it's just a case of fixing a ground or something but need abit more info to what is happening
