Ignition issues
I just purchased a 2014 Stella Auto from a couple and there are some issues. The one that I'm working on first is getting it to run.
The battery is charged and the starter cranks, but it never actually starts. And, with the cowls off, I swear I hear arcing when I hit the start button. Ideas? Maybe a service manual?

Checked the air filter... Looks ok. Will check the spark against the head, look for fouling, and proper gap when I get home.
Now the question is fuel... Will I have to take the carb out to get to the drain plug when draining fuel? Also, what model of fuel filter are the two in the Auto? Would be awesome to just pick up a couple since it's about time to replace them anyway.

Ok, I'm freaking out a bit. I KNEW I heard arcing from the engine compartment and I have video of it when I hit the ignition button.
Ok, at the top front of the frame where the seat bolts, just under that is the HT Coil and attached to the bottom side of that, there's a 3 inch long black plastic tube that has a thick wire coming out of it that is severed. Where is that wire supposed to attach?
EDIT: Found out that's the spark plug wire... Got it patched up!
