hey i just bought a 98 mxz 500 rotax with rave for a spare and for the kids bought her as is knowing it wont start. so i got her in the garage now pulled the plugs and checked the spark and the spark seems a bit weird to me like when i pulled her over she wont show spark everytime maybe every second pull she would show spark any ideas what to do before i buys a coil or anything .......

does it have resistor type plugs in it like br9es?
plug wires corroded at the boot internally ?
both these problems I had on a 98 583 summit
put resister type plugs in it, it had b9's in it the r in the above indicates a resistor type plug
plug wire cores were corroded cut the ends off to good wire and put ngk screw on replacements on still running great
don't know if your problem is the same but worth a look before buying a coil ??
