OP Defendo007 Hooked LX 150 Joined: UTC Posts: 194 Location: Camarillo CA	UTC quote On my LX 150 there appears to be too little spark at the spark plug as I have removed the plug and tested visually to examine. What could cause this? I have a brand new battery, the motor cranks over but no ignition. I need your help with this.. Thank you, Defendo007

Can you confirm it's fully charged? 2- spark plug wire might not be solidly connected to cap 3- HT lead (aka, "spark plug wire") or coil could be bad. Fortunately, on the LX they're sold as 1 unit and aren't terribly expensive.
