bry Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 i bought an 87 shee the other day and rode it the night i got it for a few minutes.. took a while to get started maybe 25 kicks..rode it next day lost power and fouled a plug..put new plugs in it and checked spark just to make sure and i couldnt see it at all.. let it sit for 3 days and went back and it fired up the 3rd kick .. i warmed it up and it acted funny like trying to foul plug again..shut it off and put new plugs in it and it hasent started by kicking it at all but you can pull start it fine....... ANY SUGGESTIONS... :shrug: Quote
J-Madd Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 25 kicks to get it started sounds like the compression may be low. Weak or intermittent spark could be pickup coil gap, stator, or ignition coil,etc, etc. Read the electrical FAQ. I think it goes over all of that. Quote

I think it goes over all of that. if the bike has sat for 2 or more days i will kick start in 2 or 3 kicks or you can push start it by yourself . compression is approx..120 on both cylinders . maybe 10 hours on new pistons new coil new ricky stator adj timing plate at 3 degrees . it like when it warms up it looses fire altogether wierd!!

ATVridinMaNiAc Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 its prolly that crappy ricky stator or one of the boots on the ign coil is about to fall apart. Quote
bry Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Posted November 20, 2008 its prolly that crappy ricky stator or one of the boots on the ign coil is about to fall apart. I will have to check the stator i know the coil is good it runs my 97 shee just fine i will swap stators with my 97 the plugs are diff but i will run jumpers over just to see THANKS U BUNCH.. Quote
sinisterboo Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 I have a 94 that acted like that when the CDI was going out. Quote
bry Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Posted November 21, 2008 I have a 94 that acted like that when the CDI was going out. It was the stator it starts up just fine with my 97 stator on it junk ricky stator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
hylander88 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 It was the stator it starts up just fine with my 97 stator on it junk ricky stator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did you even check the gap on the pick-up coil...........I had the same problem with mine and thats all what it was........ Quote
