X22 no spark, Rusty muffler

[Douglass]

I helped a member on here about a year ago. He had a similar experience as yours. It would not start out of the box. We traced, checked everything. His problem ended up being the switch in the kickstand. I think his was not aligned correctly, and prevented spark. He found it on accident as his father in law was messing around with it while he was cranking. You could use a multi meter, and check the ohms to see if the circuit opens and closes as the kick stand is up or down. This is assuming that you have one.

Hope this helps
