    getting no spark at all
    couldnt find the problem

    no lose wires
    stator is great

    still no spark

    realised the spark plug cover was lose even when full on it didnt seem like it was on. could wobble it so cut it open 2 find this

    maybe this is the way they are

    but does not seem right to me

    but what do i do now
    looks like its a sealed unit (cdi unit apparently) can i not just buy a new spark plug connector?

    Is it the coil end or the sparkplug end? If it is the coil end, will need to buy another coil I believe.

    this is what is inside the spark plug connector

    im guessing the 2 bits are ment to be joined but its broke.

    the smaller bit is the bit that clips onto the top of the sparkplug completing the circuit

    Happened to me just recently. If you don't pull it off properly, it will break like that. I now use pliers that have a C hook on them so they grab the whole thing and I pull directly up. Only thing you can do is replace it with the OEM part because it has some special resistance in it that the CDI can sense.

    so i cant just buy a standard spark plug connector?

    thats a bit annoying

    i have a husky 125 of the same year but its a different spark plug unit
