2007 gio 110cc quad..no spark!! help - Page 2

I got it!!! I was desperate so I started looking at the kill switches. I took the one on the handle bar apart and looked at it. The one wire was loose and I could turn it back and forth but the wire appeared to be attached to the brass portion still. I reassembled the switch and bam!..I had spark! Now when I turn the switch or it cuts the spark like it should. I think I may look for a different kill switch so it's a bit more reliable. Thanks for the help everyone! ! I really appreciate it.

Awesome! I had a nagging feeling that it was related to the kill switch, and I'm glad you found it.

Before you remove the kill wire on the cdi.... just hook your test light to the POSITIVE on the battery and touch the middle wire on the row with 3 wires..( on a single plug cdi )... if the test light lights up... something is grounding the spark.... and then remove the wire from the cdi... if should then start... but not shut off... this is the easy for sure way to test.... if it does not give spark then.... go and check spark coil with ohm meter,,,,, sometimes there is no continuity from the coil input to the end of the sparkplug wire( where the sparkplug fits ).... this is a bad plug end.. there should be a sticky on this no spark problem.. because this is the most common problem
