I have an 80s model fl250 w an fl250 engine cdi
Ive rebuilt the engine new seals, gaskets and rings, yes the lower seals...
I had spark. fuel (also rebuilt the carb, c clip in middle position on main jet alt where i live is 1850msl engine still wont start....
when I was pulling it the pull cord would jerk out of my hand (like the coil was firing before the piston reached tdc)
so I tested the coils in the stator and the exciter coil tested at 182ohms, so that was more than 20% less than 245ohm so I rewound the exciter coil with 36ga magnet wire and set it at 267ohms . I am getting a clear blue spark now but I think the stock wire is a larger gauge possibly 34ga any input, i know this is kinda technical but...Ideas? ie factory exciter coil wire gauge or something???
