what is the spark plug gap

My switch broke as well. Instead of trying to find one, I removed it, and mounted a heavy duty toggle switch on the front of the shroud, just below the original location. Connect the original wire to one side of the switch, and a wire connected to a good ground to the other side. Btw, the off position on the toggle switch is run, and the on is now off. This repair has served me for years.

black smoke normally indicates exess fuel, try cleaning the air filter and replace the spark plug

Remove the kill wire from the the back of the ignition module and test to see if you then have spark. If you have spark you would have a bad ground but if you still do not have spark then you may have a bad ignition module.

need carb kit with nedle and seat

Remove all wiring. Remove four stator bolts. Remove stator. remove rotor through bolt tap end of rotor us a shaft in the rotor tighten bolt in tapped hole to remove rotor.
