So my 7 year old was driving the 442 and it was running fine and it stalled like it ran out of gas. I just filled it up like I always do and here is the problem. It now will not run and it seems to be a spark issue. I give it a little shot of ether in the carb and no life, just cranks. Take the plug out and I have compression, take the air filter off and I have vacuum. Look at the plug and I see a spark. An old timer once told me spark in open air is very different than spark under compression. You can have a weak spark that will not go in the cylinder. I will say that I took the points cover off and I do see the spark jump the points quite a bit. I am quite perplexed on where to start. Thank you everyone.
