• Faulty spark plug cap or poor connection to high
tension lead
• Related wiring loose, disconnected, shorted, or
corroded
• Engine Stop switch or ignition switch faulty
• TRS switch faulty
• Poor ignition coil ground
• Faulty stator (measure resistance of all ignition
related windings)
• Incorrect wiring (inspect color coding in connectors
