Hello,

Wanted to see if anyone has run into this issue.

Have a 300 ex here that when cranking the machine over it has no spark, but the minute you let off on the starter button you get spark. When you hook a battery charger to the machine it will then have spark when cranking.

It looks as though under cranking conditions it is loosing voltage, causing the coil not to fire.


Once the machine fires up runs fine and charges the battery fine, just under cranking condition?

Thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
