  1. 700-4
Our 700-4 is having issues starting. It has a new battery and plug. Compresssion is 90psi and it’s getting fuel. When I pull the spark plug and watch the spark it’s very intermittent. I’ve heard this may be linked to the ignition switch but can’t find anyone who has had a similar issue. Sometimes while holding the switch to start my screen rests. Any advice on where to go from here?

Maybe jump the switch. Another member just had a similar issue and replaced the stator after pulling it and seeing it burnt up. He had the Same symptoms of weak spark. 😉
