No Spark problem

[jasons]

Good evening guys and gals i am new to the forum. i have a 1993 bansee has t5 on it k&n filters. and it seems like it has stock carbs and it has cool heads and i think the guy said it was ported. i have never owned a banshee before but i have owned 2 stroke dirt bikes. i was given this bike because the guy got frustrated with it he replaced the stator. my problem is that i have no spark to the plugs. i have done some ohm testings and i want you guys to tell me what you think. the T.O.R.S has been removed from the looks. and the key switch is disconnected.

 

1. ignition coil on the stator tested at 10.6 ohms

2. the pick up coil tested at 99.2 ohms

3. the lighting coil on the stator tested at 000.2

4. the coil itself tested at .6 ohms

5. spark plug caps tested at 24.5 on 1 capand 14.8 on the cap.

6. handlebar kill switch tested good at .6 ohms in the off and infinite when on

 

now were should i start. i was thinking the coil and the stator need to be replaced. i was told there is no way to test the cdi box unless i tested it with a known good one. can i get a flywheel puller for cheap or rent one to pull the stator. this bikes electrical system is a mess when i pulled the plastics. thanks for any help. and the forum is full of info. thanks

I would honestly try to pick up a new COMPLETE wiring harness and go from there. A hacked harness is going to cause nothing but trouble for you.

our caps should be 5 ohms, replace them even if it's probably not the problem. how bad is your wiring harness? is it just not cleanned and tucked nicely, or are there bad connections/ chaffed wires, etc. the black/ yellow wire should be completely removed from the harness- carb wires, tors box, throttle switch. check your black/white wire for continuity with ground(black)- there should be none- check where the key switch wires are; black and black/ white should not be connected to anything. red and brown should be connected together. check your black wire at the cdi plug to make sure it has no resistance between the coil ground, the case, and the kill switch black wire. check your pickup gap .016"-.020"

CDI box??

i must be testing these caps wrong or something cause i bought brand new ones today and there testing at 15 ohms. i am electrical dumb i want to make sure i am measuringt his right. i have the multimeter on the upside down u and i just test using the leads to what ever wire i need to test right. the wiring is not messed up the guy i got it from was just pulling stuff out to test just like me. and he got frustrated with it and gave it t me to deal with but i just want to make sure i am doing everything right. brand new coil with new caps. my next thing after the holidays in the stator i guess. i was told it was only a couple months old. then i will try a cdi box. do you guys know if these parts are interchangable through the years cause i might just buy off ebay to make things cheaper. also what size wheel puller do i need for ths flywheel. my pick up coil is in tolerance. also i fi buy a whole wireing harness off ebay for a different year will it work on mine. because i have a found a few that included the cdi box for cheap. so were to next the stator or the cdi box.

This might be a useful link check it out. Banshee electrical facts click on me

when you touch the leads together, what does your meter read?

[jasons]

when i touch the black and red leads together in the ohms postion on teh fluke its reads 0.2

here are some pics i took of a part of the wiring harness and i can figure out what these yellow wires go to maybe someone knows. there are 2 of them and you can see in the pic. i might just buy a whole new harness and be done with this wiring issue. are the harnesses interchangeable with years.

yellow=headlight;

yellow/black=tors-don't need

i would pull that tape off and inspect the wires. then, replace it with some better tape and loom

As you said in your other post your flywheel rattles when you shake it, BAD flywheel NO spark.

yeah i just discovered that today after i have already spent on other parts.
