Hey first time posting on this forum. I recently bought a blaster. It was not running when I got it. Dude said the carb just needed to be cleaned and me plug. Did that it has started for the first time in two years. Then it stopped sparking and hasn't started since. I just replaced the stator and it sparked once or twice and now doesn't. Also if I tighten the holding nut in the flywheel the flywheel seems to be grinding against something. It has compression the right mix and a clean carb. Reeds are good and everything. I just don't know much about wiring and electrics. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Electric/spark problems. New stator.

If something is grinding in your flywheel something is not assembled correctly. Are you sure you put the stator plate in the correct way. Is the woodruff key in the slot on the flywheel and properly torqued. You should also lap the flywheel:
Lapping the flywheel consists of putting some fine valve grinding paste on the taper of the crankshaft, placing the flywheel on, ( without the key), and revolving the flywheel back and forth.
When the flywheel turns more freely as the paste gets broken up, take off the flywheel, wipe out the used paste and inspect.
The grooves should now be flattened out.
If there are still grooves, repeat the operation until good mating surfaces are made.
Be sure to wash off all, and I mean all of the grinding paste.

That's a tall question!
If you mean torqueing up the nut, it is 53 ft lb.
No Loctite and don't forget the thick washer.
I just had this same problem, be sure that every ground is tight and is on bare metal what stator did you get? Stock? Make sure the stator "locks" into place inside the case and make sure the long screws are all the way tight. The flywheel only goes on one way when it goes on u will feel it slide in right. I had the same problem, I took the harness off got rid of all the old stuff, tors, key, cleaned all the connections with sand paper and gave the stator, cdi, and killswitch each their own ground. All it needs to run is the red/black white/red and the black ground. If the stator has the white/green wire ground that too the orange/red wire is for the lights if you have them
Sorry i didn't Finish my last post my phone died lol but the rest of the wires are if u have a killswitch black goes to the frame black/white goes to the black/white on the cdi and the orange goes to the coil that's all you need to run
Okay I will check the grounds. And I got a caltric stator and I'm sure it is align zero for the timing. I'm starting to think about just buying a whole new harness Cdi and coil. Would that be worth it or could it be another problem outside of that and also my new stator has an extra green/white wire and a green ground wire with it. Should I ground the green and connect it to the green/white. Or connect the green/white to something else?
