charliechitlins Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Easy stuff first. New plug, points, condenser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin j Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Disconnect the kill switch wire right at the coil to make sure there are no grounds in the wiring to the switch. Check the points, gap and clean. Need a flywheel puller but its normal Yamaha threads (26 mm? x 1.0 x LH threads) I think the condensor is soldered in. Try the other stuff first. Check plug wire end. Replace the plug. the easy cheap stuff first. Both of my 175 start very easy, they normally have a good strong spark. k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
