Hello everybody,

All has been great lately and we were about to go on our last trip for the year before putting the coach away for the winter. Went to move the coach and to our surprise, it will not start. Turns over fine, but no fire, but is getting plenty of gas as the carb is soaked with gas. I let it sit for a while, and shot some starter fluid in just to see, and again no fire. So I started at the top of the list checking the ignition components: Checked the cap and rotor (which were recently replaced with new) and they look fine. Replaced the coil with a spare, no luck. Replaced the ignition module, no luck. So now I'm back to square one and give up for now. I have not removed a plug yet to check for spark, but that's next for tomorrow. What other tests can I do to check the ignition system? I'm up for any suggestions as I'm completely stumped. We just had the coach out last weekend and it was doing fine.

Thanks as always....

Mickey
