Hi.
My NE50 was not starting w/ hot engine. I'd measured the coil, checked spark, everything ok. Many road tests and problem was getting worst.
Cleaned fuel tank, fuel lines, installed fuel filter, cleaned twice carb, checked compression, replaced spark plug, replaced CDI, checked CDI sensor on flywheel, recently it did'nt start at all even w/ cold engine Mesured again the coil it had the primary in short circuit .
On your troubleshootings do not make the same mistake, think that a coil can have an intermittant internal short circuit.
Kind regards from Portugal.

Intermittent CDI or Petcock is also maddening. Nothing is more frustrating when it dies two miles from home and wont start after 30min of trying. Walk it home and it starts first kick.
I need to find some new haters...the ones I have are starting to like me.
