Hi guys, New to the forum here. Im restoring a 1987 TRX 70, One I bought for my son to learn to ride on 13 years ago. I have 6 children, and Im restoring this to give to my 2 daughters (age 4) for christmas this year.They already love th powerwheels, so this is the next step. Been working on it for a bout a year now, all new cables, levers, bearings, handlebars, plastics, wheels, etc.. I was going to get a Lifan motor, however I came across a Barely used (by barely, I mean approx 12 hours of use) 1985 atc 70 engine. I went through the motor and everything is as new, so I installed it. Knowing IM coming from the older points style motor, to a newer cdi system, My intial thoughts were to come straight from the motor to the coil, however I am not getting ANY spark from the plugwire. I get great voltage coming from the motor, so points work fine. I suppose ,my question is, does the TRX 70 , being CDI ignition have a different coil then the ATC Points ignition? I cant get the voltage to travel the coil. IM not ruling out that the coil may be bad, however it worked when I started disassembly about a year ago. Maybe moisture damage? I could really use some help in figuring this out, or trouble spots to look at. Thanks kindly in advance for any help!
