Jraz Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 So 2 of my stator bolts worked themselves out. Only couple hous in a rebuild. The flywheel rub it pretty good. I lost spark. Since then I've replaced the atartor and ignition coil. Could that have fryed my cdi? Wire harness? I'm at a loss. Any suggestions would help. Quote
sheerider11 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 Did you destroy the pick up on the thing? How is the pick up gap? Quote
Jraz Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Posted October 26, 2012 I didn't even check it. I just bought a new one. I don't have a resistance tester either. It was raining also. It just died and that was it. I've rebuilt several two strokes but not real savy with electrical. Carpenter by trade. Quote
IceAlmeida Posted October 31, 2012 Report Posted October 31, 2012 I would check the pickup coil for damage and check your gap from the flywheel raised node to pickup ..... also use locktite on all those stator and timing plate screws .... Quote
YelaBanshee Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 If you have a multi meter you can always volt test it from that stator and go farther till you find the area Quote
Jraz Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Posted November 2, 2012 So I replaced the stator with a new one. I have an older clymer and it doesn't tell me what the gap is supposed to be. I've checked just about everything. Got resistance on stator, ignition coil, tors is removed. Still no spark. How would u even adjust the pick up. Quote
Jraz Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Posted November 2, 2012 The pick up never got damaged. Thing just died. It was raining a bit when it happened. Quote
Paul M Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 the mount for the pick up coil is slotted ! not sure what the official gap is , I always did mine with a match book lol Quote
Jraz Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Posted November 3, 2012 Ok set my gap at .018". It sparks but won't start. Kinda wants too, but then it backfires. ??? Quote
Jraz Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Posted November 3, 2012 I also put a new ignition coil in. Would that make it backfire if it was bad? Quote
Paul M Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 If its back firing your getting spark ! check all your connections real good ! Quote
sheerider11 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 If you sheared a flywheel key that will throw off your timing and make the bike pop and back fire Quote
Jraz Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Posted November 3, 2012 No adjustable timing plate. The woodruff key has not been sheered. Al little worn but still good. I went over connections. It wants to start so bad and then pop, pow. ( backfire) Quote
YelaBanshee Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 You should run through the connections and check the voltage while you are kicking it over to make sure you have enough spark Quote
