Default RE: Is it my ignition or engine?

Well problem solved! I think....

Bought a new ignition, no change.
New spark plug and ignition no change
New spark plug, ignition, 4.8v 2000mah battery (eliminated the 6v regulator, and 6v battery) no change
Cleaned carb, all new gaskets etc... no change
Tore engine apart to check for stuck or sticking ring etc... engine is not perfect but nothing worth replacing. I put the engine back together, when to start it, and it would not start, no spark. I checked my ignition with my ignition tester, and it worked. BAD HALL SENSOR!!!!!! ALL OF THIS FOR A BAD SENSOR!!!

Replaced that, started right up, and revved like normal. All that time, and money for a what would have been 10.00 fix.

I will keep you all updated to see if this "fix" lasts and was the problem from the get go. Still have not flown the plane since all of this.

Thanks everyone!
