Hello Guys, Shes all up and running!!! I got the new CDI pack in today from SPI (sports parts inc.) Model 01-143-22 (other number on box: KX0114322) I hooked it up, pulled the starter and it fired up and idled fine, pushed the throttle and it revved right up and the clutch opened right up. . . SUCH ...

Ok... By any chance did you clean up the magnets on the flywheel? When I took everything off to replace the crankseals, I noted rust on the stator and flywheel... I used a dremel with a wire wheel, and very carefully cleaned off all the rust. Had a MUCH stronger spark when I did that... If you have...

Just grasping at straws here... I noticed in your video that the fuel lines comes out of the gas tank, across the top side of the engine bay, beneath the carb to the fuel pump... The original routing of the fuel line is straight out of the gas tank, down underneath the engine (right underneath the ...

So I got the new magneto / stator in tonight, hooked it up . . . nothing but the same! Here is a video how I was explaining about the carb spitting out gas: https://youtu.be/aLIwTLKaZjM I also made my own tool to do the timing because I couldn't find one, so if the timing isn't right on, its pretty ...

Hello Guys, Still waiting for the new stator and CDI uni. So I bought a CDI off this site: http://www.psep.biz/store/john_deere_snowmobile_cdi_boxes.htm Model ADKX0114322 It still haven't shipped yet, so I contacted the seller and they had to order it in for me. I asked if the manufacture was Kimpex...

I think you should hunt for a original CDI-unit to test the engine. When I check around for the Kimpex-number on your Ebay purchase, it only fits A-C, Moto-ski and Ski-Doo. And when looking at CDI:s for Kohler-engines I find that the same number on a after market CDI has different price, so somethi...

Many years ago I worked on a Spitfire that did the exact same thing as yours. Idle but wouldn't rev. Replaced CDI and the same problem. After several days of frustration I borrowed a box from a working Spit and put it one. Problem gone! I recall a post a year or two ago on this forum where the same...

Sounds like it is only hitting on one side in the video..... You mention it sounds like its only hitting on one side, if I got spark on both plugs when testing them without the engine running, would it be possible for it to be hitting on one side when trying to get it to rev? I just triple checked ...

Here is a video of the issue guys

Looking at the CDI unit, and still wondering if I have the wrong one, what do you guys have on your spitfires? Im looking all over the web and cant find any pictures, nor can I find one with a specific number to look up.

Thanks guys

I didn't see you mention the fuel pump. The Spitfire has a vacuum actuated fuel pump. They are relatively cheap, and considering all the other replaced parts, I'd replace that too. If not, at least take it apart, clean it out, and reinstall. Also, check the hosing for splits/cracks, even a small sp...

Hello Guys, In need of some serious help!!! I started a new thread because I stopped getting responses back on the last one, hopefully this helps! I got a 1978 Spitfire off my buddy that had been sitting for years, after replacing the carb, it will idle, but nothing past idle. The carb that I bought...

Hello Guys, I got the case all blasted tonight and ready to put back together, the next question I got for all of you, the Stator According to the manual posted by Matt above pg 79, testing the Stator with my Mutli meter on omhs, the L1 charging coil is reading within spec 182ohms, Meanwhile the L2 ...
