Can someone tell me what this hole goes to. Its right next to the wires that go into the stator cover. It was hard to take a picture of. You can see the top half of the hole right under the #8 bolt. Should this be plugged or am I missing something?

Think I found the problem to no spark finally. I was checking all the wires for continuity from end to end. When I check the orange wire from the cdi to the ignition coil I didn't have continuity for a sec then it did, so it was shorting out. So I cut off the old connector on the orange wire and put on a new connector and plugged it back in to the + on the coil. I then reconnected at each junction kicked it over and what you know I have spark again. I haven't put the gas tank back on yet, so havent heard it run. I need to retape up the wiring harness before I put it back together. Once I lost continuity on the orange wire I started to untape certain sections just to make sure there was no corrosion or bare wires around the orange wire. I really hope this is all it was. Miss riding the banshee. Funny thing is if this is all it was I ordered a wiring harness for no reason. Found one used for $40 online for the same year model, suppose it wont hurt to have back up. Thanks for everyones advice and help. I will repost if its running and try to get a pic up of my banshee. Later headed back to the shop to put this thing back together.

That harness and cdi is from minkia38? Thanks for the heads up. I need just a little more info on checking the CDI. Should I check the connector leaving the cdi or going in? If I get continuity on one of the prongs in the connector does this mean the cdi is bad? Not real familiar with the cdi. I'm gonna go check it out see what happens.

I'm in south texas near corpus christi. I'm probably going to order a used cdi, I get paid tomorrow. The box I have has 3GG-10 on it, assuming I need to get this exact box. They have couple on ebay for ~$100 that are 3GG-10. Tempted to buy the wiring harness and cdi together. Found them used together for $188 on ebay. Just have a gut feeling that its my wiring and hate to buy stuff I dont need. I'm going to take hoppedup's advise and check the wiring harness better first. I haven'nt unwrapped the wires and inspected them yet.

So looks like I need to inspect the wire more unwrap the tapped up sections. It seems to be a grounding problem. I don't have an airbox and wires aren't melted. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

I have no spark but every now and then I will get a spark here's a list of what I've check. I used the following website for help: Banshee Electrical FAQ - DFN Systems www.dfn.com/agservices/elecfaq.html Kill switch test good Key switch test good Stator coil: red to green 19.8 ohms Pick coil: red/white to green/white 112 ohms Lighting coil: yellow to black 0.5-0.6 ohms Ignition coil test:I have two coils, one is new aftermarket and other is old oem Primary test: 0.6 ohms old and 1.0 ohms new Secondary test: wire with and without caps 5,700 ohms old and 6,000 ohms new Torrs was eliminated before electrical problem I also ordered some new spark plug caps and they tested out at 16,000 ohms on both coils NGK caps. When I put the new ngk plugs it fired and ran for couple minutes then lost spark and died. Couldn't get spark again so I thought maybe my ignition coils was bad so I ordered new one put that thing in and got spark for a second then went out. I'm down to the wiring harness the grounds or the CDI box. I read somewhere that the CDI box either works or doesn't work it doesn't just sometimes send a spark and sometimes it doesn't is that true or not? How do I check my ground wire going to ignition coil? Appreciate any help or suggestions at this point. Not sure if I should order cdi or wiring harness?

I have a 1998 Yamaha banshee with FMF pipes no mods that I know of. I have owned it for three years and it's ran great. I washed it a couple weeks ago and I hasn't ran since.

Key switch checks out fine and kill switch. Torrs has been removed. I'm going to try my grounds again. Thanks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

I have a 1998 banshee that was running great until I washed it. Now I have no spark. I tested ohms on the the stator and pick up coil and they test to spec. I've checked the continuity on the wire harness and its good. I thought it may be the ignition coil, I plugged a new one in today and it fired up at first kick then lost spark. Would the cdi send signal only part time. I was under the impression that the cdi either works or it doesn't. I'm get spark from time to time. Maybe my ground to the ignition coil? Any suggestions?
