We acquired a hammerhead 150 that was not running. It is still not running. Two problems are most obvious to me. 1) If the battery is charged, the starter will intermittently engage itself. The engine won't start, but the starter engages and disengages until the battery runs down. 2) We can't get a spark. Parts replaced include spark plug, CDI box, ignition switch, magneto & stator. When we connect the cables to the battery we get sparks whether the key is turned on or not. Is that a bad sign? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
