Question
just replaced the stator and trigger do to no spark,now im getting spark but now my choke solenoid wont let fuel into the carbs.i can get the engine to run by spraying fuel into carbs.but obviously dies.dont know if this is related, but also when i push the choke in at the key during starting, i blow a fuse ,but if i just turn key ,it turns over fine, thanks

Answer
The choke souldn't be keeping fuel from getting into the carbs.  Take out the carb drain screws and make sure they are all getting gas.  If you advance the throttle to start it try to see if you can get it to run at a higher rpm.  If the choke is broken, it may just be having a hard time starting and running cold and the spraying fuel into the carbs riches it up enough to fire.  You also may have some plugged up carbs or need to adjust the idle.  If you just replaced the stater and trigger, you are going to want to do a synch and link to dile your timing and carb settings in anyway.
