i had the mag rebuilt by mainely magnetos about 6 months ago, ran the cat a total of maybee 3 x sat for about a month, now i cant get it to fire, could it be an impulse starter on the mag? and how to check that? any info would be great, thanks.

I would check to see if you are getting spark. The next thing to think about is this. If you shut the gas off and let it run out, it may take a while for the fuel pump to push fuel over to the carb. You can put some gas in the priming cups and see if it goes.

i have not pulled the plugs as of yet, the fuel pump is by passed and the carb is gravity fed, i filled the primer cups several times and no luck. i do have it parked on a slight hill im thinking that maybee when im filling the cups is not flowing the right way? thanks.

Hello Fstelma
I have a Cat 22 I took it to rough and tumble in PA this year and when I got back I left it outside till the next show in two weeks the show came and it would not start the mag was full of condensation I put a small flame to dry it up, I had to pull start to get going but after running a while it started up on it own hope this helps.
