I have a 2001 (according to the vin) blaster that won't fire. The people I bought it from swore that the stator was the problem. I bought a new stator on ebay.
Here is the catch. The stator I got from ebay said it fit 1990-2006 and it has 5 wires (the extra one is white/green)
My blaster only has 4 wires in the harness. All color codes are just as everyone describes and the seller says to ground the white/green wire on the older 4-wire models.
That is all well and good except that this new stator doesn't ohm out as it should. The description goes:
grn/wht to blk/red gives me a proper reading
Needless to say I don't get a spark when this is hooked up by color code and I suspect there may be an improperly assembled unit.
I unplugged the control unit first as instructed... still no spark.
I also check the coil from orange lead to ground and I get continuity but I get no ohms and I get nothing from orange lead to the end of the spark plug wire which should mean a bad coil right?
I have followed the troubleshooting in the manual but there is one section I don't understand... regarding the spark plug cap on the spark plug wire... this is not a snap on connector... it is crimped onto the spark plug wire....change/test that? I don't understand. By the illustrations I should be able to pop that off and test it but it is made onto the end of the wire.
I tested the main switch and for some wierd reason it was backwards... I got continuity when it was in the "off" position.
I tested the run/kill switch and it got no continuity so I cut and spliced that wire together (only really need one kill and the main will do it)
Please help

but when I do it I don't get anything from white/red to black but I do from white/red to yellow/redPickup coil: wht/red to black (16-24 ohms)
Source coil: grn/wht to blk/red (192-288 ohms)
