sheerider11 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 A credit card gap is kind of big. See if you can tighten it up. What brand stator? Flywheel? Does the flywheel rattle if you shake it? Quote
4doorturbo Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Posted June 15, 2015 A credit card gap is kind of big. See if you can tighten it up. What brand stator? Flywheel? Does the flywheel rattle if you shake it? I'll look into the gap some more. The flywheel and stator are both oem No rattling from the flywheel either Quote
Larry's Shee Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 How long you been running the V12? Have you ohmed coil and plug caps seperate? Ohmd stator and pickup coil? Quote
4doorturbo Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Posted June 16, 2015 How long you been running the V12? Have you ohmed coil and plug caps seperate? Ohmd stator and pickup coil? I've been running VP c12 for 10 years. I didn't ohm the caps separately. Since the bike ran the same with another OEM coil I just assume the secondary circuit is fine. I ohmed the stator at the 4 pin connector on the right side of the bike next to the kick starter. I didn't ohm it at the actual pick up. Quote
4doorturbo Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Posted June 19, 2015 Here's a recap and the same issue still on hand. Leak down test is good engine maintained 7 psi for a half hour Compression was 140 each cylinder. I regapped the pick up to the flywheel .018" much better spark now. Cleaned surface rust on stator and flywheel pick ups, flywheel has no rattle. Quote
4doorturbo Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Posted June 19, 2015 Has anyone ever had an electrical short in the wire harness that could be cause this? Quote
sleeper06 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 That sounds like parking brake or another electrical issue Quote
4doorturbo Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 That sounds like parking brake or another electrical issue I pulled the harness and inspected all the wires and ohmed all the wires bending and pulling looking for breaks or shorts, nothing found. Removed all tors connectors and removed parking brake wire all the way back to the CDI. Since I don't have a good known CDI box to try I'm ripping my hair out exhausting everything possible, until I can get my hands on one. Quote
sleeper06 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 Did you cut the green wire with the yellow stripe coming rite out of cdi Quote
4doorturbo Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 Did you cut the green wire with the yellow stripe coming rite out of cdi I pulled it out of the connector on the CDI side (male pin). Thats the closest place to eliminate it and easiest. Quote
sleeper06 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 Also stator can test good and still not works properly, where do you live Quote
4doorturbo Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Posted June 23, 2015 Also stator can test good and still not works properly, where do you live north jersey in ringwood Quote
