What do you mean by hand on top and bottom? Just tape or clamp the plug to something metal on the engine. Its not worth gwtting shock like that.SlackerP488 wrote:kill wire disconnected & the head bolt clean, when I hold it to the head bolt
and hand on the top and bottom I'll get the shock...
When I hold it the same way and put it on the head (threads for the plug)
I don't get shocked.

Am i reversing something? to get zapped
The electricity is going through you to get to ground instead of jumping the plugs gap and going to ground. You are creating an easier path for the electricity to travel.

Yep, your getting it before the plug.SlackerP488 wrote:so the zapping means the coil, points, condensor is working? maybe
loosing its punch through the wire? it is 38 years old. rubber dosent last
for ever
The last post on page 3 of this thread covers that, another option could be some heat shrink tubeing, or maybe your small engine buddy could splice a new wire and boot on it for you.

of course ill get zapped
ground to plug wire 5.72 little lower than before
ground to bottom of spark plug 11.00 than retest it that way I get .ol
it changes back and forth from .ol to 11. when I move the plug wire back
& forth.. But When I take the plug out I get the 5.72 and dosent matter if I
I move the wire back and forth

That tells me you are loseing connection at the plug. The 11 is the resistance of the plug and coil tegether the ol is an open circuit.

hey 72,
Wanted to give ya a heads up.. I found a used whole stator at a arctic cat salvage yard .. put in it a spark all the way... running really good..
Thanks for all your effort on helping me to figure out what was wrong.
But i still have a question. Does the transmission or gear box hold fluid in it ? what kind and how much if you know.
Hey Man thanks for all your help.

Glad to hear ya got it running, too bad you had to go out and buy parts but at least you were able to find them.
The gearbox has fill, drain and level holes, they are the screws on the side cover with red seal washers. You can use 5-30, 10-30 or 30w oil. Just fill untill it comes out the level hole.
