Even 6 years later this video is the best on all of YouTube for no spark troubleshooting. Thank you my man!

I replaced every electrical component on my 49cc with no results. This video saved me! I started testing and found that the old and new spark plug wire was bad. I combined the two to make one good wire and I got spark! The scooter starts fine again!! Thank you so much for this information!

Great tutorial. Very clear and informative. I have a gy6 equipped buggy that's in need of an electrical diagnosis and repair and with your guidance shared here I think I can handle it. Thank you for taking the time to help those of us less familiar with this little engine.

A very thorough and concise tutorial. Excellent job with diagnostic technique, and videography, totally well done! I will suggest always touch probe tips together before every continuity test to verify ohm circuit in meter.

Love the way you explained it more than once. If you explain it like you did, it’s easier to remember when you are actually trying to figuring things out! Very helpful video.

Just a follow up, fitted new stator (after having to destroy the flywheel getting it off as it was stuck on) and once back together got spark and fired up. Again, thanks for the tutorial as I was ready to scrap it but now it's a runner. Cheers

I can't wait until work is done so I get to go home and go through this process of troubleshooting. I'm newer to this and after beating my head into the wall over and over, this video gives me hope that I can finally figure it out. Thanks in advance!
