engine back in, wont start...

[Nikita]

Hi,

I got the engine back in the car, it cranks fine, but does not start.

Discovered that there is no spark.

I tested the coil for resistance and it seems fine.

The CDI box does not make the usual whining sound, how do i test this thing?

thanks

Before you check your CDI box, go over every little thing that connects to the engine. I had the same problem before. Mine would just turn over but wouldnt start. I thought it was the electrical too, so I started replacing things and then I found out that the flywheel sensor wasnt screwed in tight enough. Started right up. I felt really dumb after that. So now I check EVERYTHING twice or even three times.

Thanks.

You're right about checking everything. Turns out I did not plug in the CDI. The engine picks up now for 2 seconds, but backfires and stalls. I will top post after searching the forums.


Thanks
