CDI, kill switch wiring, and spark plug/lead/cable are the most common failure points, roughly in that order. CDI's can't readily and reliably be checked so a 'known good' unit is the diagnosis/treatment of choice. Very inexpensive on eBay. Good to have a spare anyways even if not the cause of this problem this time.

as i have suggested before. i would take off the left cases of both motors and see if you can swap the stators between the two motors.

i have been trying to help but haven't gotten much feedback from
PMs or your other thread.

Sorry did not realize this was not a new question. Did not want to confuse matters so OK to disregard my suggestions if they have already been tried.
