Will it crank? If so, check for spark. No spark? Bad TFI module.

Ok, word of advice...if you've changed parts already, please include what you've done with your initial post.


With that being said, have you checked for spark?

Check for power at the coil while cranking. No power at the coil? Burnt fuseable link at the starter solenoid.
