Hey guys,
I'm just looking to get the old sled going for the season. Last year the carb boot sucked air and I blew one piston on the original motor. I picked up a 88' enticer 340 for parts thinking I could swap the motor. I have pulled the 79' motor, swapped cooling shrouds and installed the 88' motor in the 79' sled. Everything seemed identical except the cooling shrouds and the 79 was e-start and the 88 didn't come with that option. When connecting all the wires up all the wires were identical in colour except two. A black and yellow striped wire coming off the motor is now connected to a blew wire. (They were the only ones left unconnected so i figured they must have changed for year to year). I swapped my 79' coil onto the 88' motor as the motor came without one. I now have no spark and am running out of ideas. I checked continuity between the motor and the coil and the coil and the ground. Everything seems good there. Any other ideas? Would the CDI boxes have changed? I am pretty green to electrical so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
