stator qustion

[yamahaman244]

hey guys well my buddy went riding on some nice trail up here with a few buddys who were saying oo my 4 poke will eat your 421 stroker all this...well he started racing said he was up ahead just about to hit 6th

 

and thing just killed it didnt blow so ofcourse all the people saying shit about banshees and two strokes well here he dont have any spark when i talked to him so i told him it is most likely the stator or cdi

 

what do u guys think um...and he has another stator jw is it hard to put in and all that u will have to have a fly wheel puller correct?

 

thanks

Do all the testing/checking BEFORE you start replacing parts. Could be something as simple as a bad switch/ broken/lose wire.

Any time I loose spark one of the first things I do is check your plug caps. Check your wiring connections first and make sure everything is good there. Take your volt meter and check the resistances on the stator coils. The specs are listed in your clymer manual. Check your flywheel pickup coil gap clearance. Try new spark plug coil caps. With the banshees its usually the stator has gone bad or the spark plug caps are wearing out. If the stator is the culprit replace it with a stock unit. Steer clear of the ricky stator junk.

yes, get a meter and ohm everything out.... the caps are usually the first to go, and of course, plugs.... i'm sure everyone has had a plug drop off once or twice durring a long hard pull. ohm out the stator, make sure the black/white wire is not getting ground, and that the black/red wire does (keyswitch run). look for melting of the harness on the exhaust under the seat. check pickup gap on both sides of the flywheel (a sparkplug box flap works good) and, do not ever try to remove the flywheel without the puller, unless it has spun loose on it's own....

AKheathen is right on the money. A puller is only $10-20 and can be found at most cycle shops, all the site sponsors, or Ebay.

Definately check for a burned or pinched wire, the stator pickup and the stator. Often you can smell a burned stator when you remove the cover and smell the coils.

My banshee does the same thing but after it dies it willl fire then die in 3 sec. but wait a while and it might start up and run. this is driving me crazy. Stock all but pipes and 300 main jets.

same thing, and check your jetting. see what your plugs have to say when it happens....
