zr2highrider Posted May 9, 2010 Report Posted May 9, 2010 I was out riding my shee the other day and today it wont start. I was getting absolutly no spark. First thing I though was that my stator took a dump. I checked it with a ohm meter and it was checked out. I know CDI's dont go out that often. Checked the coil and did the pimary test as is says in the Clymer repair manual. It says the resistance should be like .28 ohms to .38 ohms. It was at .5 or .6. Does this mean my coil crapped out? Or should I do the secondary test? Quote
AKheathen Posted May 9, 2010 Report Posted May 9, 2010 is it a stock coil? and, what does your meter read zeroed (leads touching together) you have to subtract that. test the 2nd anyway- cap to cap, not cap to primary. Quote
zr2highrider Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Posted May 9, 2010 Yes its stock coil. Cap to cap I get nothing on the meter. Quote
AKheathen Posted May 10, 2010 Report Posted May 10, 2010 unscrew the caps and test again at the wires, and then remove the wires if nothing and test directly at the coil..... Quote
zr2highrider Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Posted May 10, 2010 Unscrewed the caps and tested at the wires and got nothing. Took wires off and tested at the coil and I still get nothing. Im having a buddy come over with his shee this weekend and we are goin to swap the coil and cdi just to make sure but im 99% sure I fried my coil. Quote
zr2highrider Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Posted May 14, 2010 Ok, this is going to sound kinda redneckish but can you run a dual coil setup on the stock stator? Like I said, this is going to sound very backwoods so here goes. What I was thinking is running two dirtbike coils on in place of the blown original one. I have a few old dirtbikes laying around and always used them for old clutch and brake handles. This would only be a temperary fix and would get a new coil here in a few weeks. I would just splice the original orange wire into two and ground the coils to the bolts holding it to the frame. Please let me know if this would work. Quote
AKheathen Posted May 15, 2010 Report Posted May 15, 2010 in theory, it could work. you will need to take some readings, though. on the primary resistance, they would each have to read at least .4 ohms, mabey more. i'm not sure if the cdi can handle the load, or if the stator will push enough current otherwise Quote
