did you pull a compression check? if so, what were the readings? this one is kind of sounding like either an apex seal or something along those lines. make sure that you got the correct pump. there is a low pressure and high pressure. s4 na needs the low pressure pump.

Compression is 110Psi Both rotors All 3 Facings. I found Yesterday I Have No Spark to Both The Leading and Trailing Coils. What Sends Power to the Coils? Is It The CAS that does If Its Bad Will it Not send The Signal to Spark them? I also Found That My Old Pump Still works so I took The Walbro Out and Put The Old One Back In.

the cas gives the signal for them to fire, but doesn't necessarily power them. that means that they could have power, but not be turning on if the cas is not working. check that first, then check for electrical issues. if you cant find a short, check the ground. it is directly underneath the trailing coil bracket.

the cas is a pretty solid unit. the only times that it really completely breaks, there are usually teeth missing at the base of the unit. if not, the wires sometimes get broken or disconnected. if it is just burned up, i don't know what way to tell other than to test it like the ignition. just check to see if you get power in and out of it when you crank.

there is also an ignition relay which can occasionally burn at the base. mine melted the entire relay box when it went.

yeah, that's the reason I dont post in most other forums. I try to be helpful here because no one else in the rotary community seems to help much.

let me know what happens with that.
