Got on the 420FM today to move it. It fired right up in Neutral, but didn't want to catch in 1st. It fires right up in R, N, 2-5, but would not catch in first.
Of course, with my OCD, I couldn't just leave it, so I pull it under the carport and put it in first, pull the plug, ground it on the head, and turn it over, discovering what looked like a good spark. Put plug back in, turn it over, nothing. Try it in Neutral, nothing.
Pull plug again and ground it to head, no spark.
Now I notice that when I turn the key on, the FI and Temp lights aren't cutting on for a second like they usually do.
Check fuses, they're fine. Swap new ones in just in case, no change.
Nose around on the interwebs, see that if you are turning one over with the plug not really well grounded, you can fry a CDI, so I think maybe that's it.
Go back, pull CDI off of other Rancher, put it on, no change.
Now I'm frustrated, irritated, and here asking what the problem is. Anyone got any idea what to look at?
