ok so I thought I had this all figured out. I had three wires going into the top of fuse 11: two red, one blk w/red stripe. One of the red wires went under the fuse block and the other was a piggyback that jumped over to the fuel pump fuse.

So I pulled the red wire that went under the fuse block and connected into it and ran it to a normally closed terminal. From the other normally closed terminal I ran back to the #11 fuse and put the wire into the hole I took the original wire out of.

I got everything hooked up as per the Smart Racing instructions and the engine cranks, I smell fuel out the exhaust but it won't fire nor do I get the CDI humming when I turn the key, which is disconcerting.

I thought maybe it was my splicing and hook ups so I disconnected it all and put the original red wire back into the top of the #11 fuse and now I don't get the CDI humming and it cranks but doesn't fire. Clearly I don't have any spark.

Not sure what's going on at this point. I even tried pulling the pair I had on the normally open terminals and switched them with the wires going to the normally closed in the event I had the ignition wires connected to the open switch and it didn't make a difference.

Any ideas?
