no spark,unless you push start it.

[sstaton1983]

banshee is a 89 with pwk 28s. using the kicker it will spark every once and a while with spark plugs removed.but you can push start it.once it starts it will not idle.i tried a coil and new stator and no diff. i have completely pulled the harness apart and checked it.i ohmed from the stator wires to cdi.orange coil wire to cdi and checked grounds. could the cdi cause weak spark? the bike is a friend of mine's and the harness was butchered i spent about 3 hours soldering and putting on shrink boot.

I just worked on a bike like this, turns out it was the flywheel

[sstaton1983]

maybe weak magnet,because my banshee flywheel seemed to have a stronger magnet.

Swap it out

does the bike have TORS on it?

I had this same problem with my 89 three years ago. It turned out to be the CDI box that I had put on from Rick's Electrics. The bike would not start cold without towing it but it would kickstart as long as it was warm, but after a long day at SandLake it would not even start by towing it when hot. I put a stock CDI back on it and it started right up. I had put the Rick's box on it when I was at St. Anthonys because that was all I could get when we were there, and it had less than 20 hours of ride time on it in 3 months.
