JimmyBones Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Re-jetted my banshee the other day, didn't sync up the carbs like a genius... Jumped on her today and noticed I was getting any power. Left side cylinder wasn't firing, more than likely due to not having my carbs synced. Anyways, not too long into riding, shee died. Couldn't turn her back over. Pushed her into the garage and checked for spark and I have nothing. Don't know if the coil went bad or cdi box or had a malfunction in one of the switches. I know its not the plugs b/c I did a test with a screw driver and a chassis ground and still had nothing. Where do I go now? Quote
twizted269 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 ive seen problems like this where the wire harness was melted by the pipe along the airbox. one place to check. happend to me and two others i ride with. Quote
AKheathen Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) ok, first, you will need an ohm meter. maesure between the power and ground terminals on the coil. should be .28-.38 ohms. next, measure between the ground terminal and each of the plug caps individually. 4700-7100 ohms. if you get a bad reading, remove the cap, and test at the wire. still bad, remove the wire, and test directly at the coil. if the coil checks out good, make sure it's getting good ground. the next to test would be the plugs at the cdi. the 4 wire plug goes to the stator. should read 14-20 ohms between red and green, around 110 between red/white & green/white. the 5 wire plug goes to everything else. with the key, and kill switch on, measure between all the wires, none should have continuity, except the orange, which is the coil. if all that checks out, remove your stator cover, and check the pickup gap should just fit a buisness card, also shouldn't be any junk or rust in there btw- love the name. what i be?

JimmyBones Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 Dead on with the wiring harness melting to the exhaust. I wish I would've checked that before taking off the coil and coming back to find the dog tearing the caps off the wires. Cant you just buy new spark plug caps without having to buy a new set of coil and wires? Quote
