i'm getting back into karting, bought a kart with an Animal engine on it. it had the stock flywheel and typical mower coil on it. I ordered a PVL kit, flywheel and mag. (555683 and 555681) I put it on, fired it, all was good. I went to race it Sunday, made 2 warm-up sessions. went to run the first heat, it didn't start. no spark. I tried 3 different plugs, checked the kill button, even unplugged the ground wire, still no spark. checked the flywheel key, that was ok. Reset the air gap on the mag, and in stages i got hit & miss spark (thready) then a steady but thready spark. went to run a 10 lap feature & on lap 8 it just died. I'm right back to no spark. new out of the box, both items. anyone else run into this problem? could i have a bad Mag? Thank you for your time.
