RPS Tornado 250. Have spark, comp, gas... Nothing

Boxnix · 10-25-2023, 05:08 PM

I'm getting my butt properly kicked on a 250 ATV that sat for a year. After replacing just about the whole electrical system (stator, CDI, coil, plug) I finally have spark. Replaced the carb with a pretty near identical one. All new gas. Compression is good. Gas is coming through the bowl. The thing won't even think about starting. Zero chug whatsoever at any throttle.

I ruled out any safety or kill switch circuits (which should just kill spark anyway).

I know the last answer is timing but I just can't believe the thing lost timing just sitting there. Is it possible to install a stator wrong where you screw up the timing?
