dude this should not have gone on for 10 pages... have your stator check... most likely it is that ... who cares about your fuel situation.. it has nothing to do with spark... empty tank/full tank/rabbits living in your tank... doesnt matter... youd still have spark if all was good. check the resistance from your stator (pulse coil, charging coil) dont matter about the lighting coil. an it was said about 5 pages back about your kickstart problem... NO it should not go all the way down an hit your peg... if it comes back up EVERY time its not the spring... the gears for it are prolly stripped/assembled wrong. and check your woodruff key too as far as the timing issue... thats all there is to it. pull the magneto to check that.
