AKheathen Posted April 7, 2010 Report Posted April 7, 2010 yah, ohm check it at the plug. red to green usually reads between 16 and 20 ohms. that's the ignition windings on the stator. red/white to green/white should be around 100 ohms. that's the puckup coil on the outside of the flywheel. make sure the gap on that is about the thickness of a sparkplug box. how are you removing the flywheel? i would shake it and listen for a magnet or 2 rollin around. now, is it sparking, and then not, or does it spark about every 2-3 kicks? that will also point where the prob is Quote
banshee_terror_ Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Posted April 7, 2010 sometimes it is diffrent some times it will spark every time for 3kicks in a row or it might skip 2 or 3 kicks then spark one time then maybe another 2 or 3 kicks and spark once more. Quote
AKheathen Posted April 7, 2010 Report Posted April 7, 2010 yah, that's a sign that the stator is not giving enough juice to the cdi. the cdi is having to build minimum charge before it sparks. check the wiring between the cdi and stator, and check out the stator/flywheel. you could've melted the wires by the airbox on the exhaust. you can check the magnets in the flywheel by shaking it like a maracca, and running a screwdriver across the inside and it will jump from the center of one magnet to the other, evenly spaced. likely just a bad stator, and i've seen them ohm out ok, but not put out enough.
