Answer 1

The ignition coils on Rotax engines normally are good for years. Check the wires to the kill switch or dead-man switch first then work your way back to the magneto and coil.

Answer 2

take it to auto zone,they will hook up the scan tool and check for codes,tell them that my ex husband sent you and they may even fix it for free,or you can buy a haynes manual for $20 and it will show you everything,don't forget to change your air and fuel filters too,good luck,hope this helps

Answer 3

Have you check your ignition wires, gap on plugs, ?
