kill switch ? ignition switch bad ? bad spark plug boot or plug?

this video's may help you with you're problem. \/ Also for pulling the bearing out of the axle I recommend a bearing puller set you can buy cheep online and rent a slide hammer from most auto shop's another video about the tool. \/ and use a socket that has the same outer diameter as the bearing to install.If the rear axle is not the same please disregard thisbut the video may still give you some insight as of whats ahead.

is the ignition switch bad? if it has been working fine off of the 2 wire switch,thats what i would replace with.if it worked with 2 wire switch why would you need 4 wire switch.

Also check to see if your rpm are too high...

if its a light ticking noise it may be your valve train, if its a heavier knock it would most likely be your bottom end, crank/bearings etc...

What type of fluid do you have in there? in some cases we have put synthetic or oils with additives and it has caused the plates to slip.

valves make a ticking noise, knocking comes from your bottom end (crank bearings etc). try a thicker oil and see if it changes anything

I had a similar problem. pull start worked no problem, and starter only sometimes. turns out the starting system as a whole (starter, old wires, solenoid etc) were drawing so much power that it wasn't allowing much for power for the coil and spark. it was too weak

Frame rail by your left toe

Had a similar problem, I rebuilt the carb and fixed any gaps/cracks in the intake boots and carb-engine gasket. runs ok now

Faulty starter solenoid or relay possibly

One is on the right side of the engine and the other is on the frame rail by your left toe

follow it until you find the short. the wire may have rubbed raw against a metal part. Happens a lot. remove the fuse and put an ohm meter to the frame and to either side of the wire where the fuse mounts. It will tell you which direction from that point to follow

It should be on the frame rail by your left toe

Is the cooling fan not working? if it is I would check for any restrictions (mud, leaves etc)

Possible vacuum or intake leak

Your alternator/regulator/rectifier is blown or a bad connection within these components
