Ok here's the story...had a bad stator...switched it out with a spare and got it running. If I let it sit over night would have to put a little gas in the cylinders to get it going then after that would be ok...yes it had old gas in the tank. Let it sit for a couple days...went and got fresh gas to put it out on the road for sale and no spark again. Found a ground wire not hooked up...hooked it up and still nothing. I have both stators out and on the bench...is there some kind of test i can do to see if they are truely bad? I am no electrician but can do a little testing. Not sure what the specs may be for this sled either...thanks for any help...yes it has a new battery...thanks again
