ape 501 wont ignite
Inviato: 13 giugno 2020, 10:00
hi all,
i am sebastian from belgium and the proud owner of 2 ape 501's.
since shortly i have 2 problems with 1 of the ape's. and i cant find what it is.
problem 1 is when i push the ignite button is hear a click but the engine wont turn over, when i push multiple times it wil turn over.
but then there is problem 2. i dont get a spark from my sparkplug. i tried the coil and the sparkplug from the other ape and it still wont work. so i am sure it is not a problem with the sparkplug or the coil (also because i tried the coil and spark plug from the not working one on the other one and it started directly) .
these problems started when i drove the ape of the trailer and missed the last 30cm of the ramp. never had starting problems before.
also checked the contact break thing what is contected at the side of my engine (used for timing) and when i turn the flywheel i can see that the contact is opening and closing
also noticed when i connect the ground to the coil the connection is sparking (dont know if this is normal or maybe is the problem)
hopefull that some one can help me with these problems
thanks,
sebastian
