Maybe the CDI/coil but I'm thinking it's a plugged pipe.

Heat it up in a fire/charcoal till it's red hot and blow compressed air thru it. CAREFUL it'll throw flames!

heat up entire pipe or just the canister? and blow air through the way the exaust flows or reverse the air flow or doesnt it matter?

I suppose if you can heat enough of it red hot, it'll work.
