Will a bad stator make it hard to start?

[Shee_fast]

I guess I was wrong, or this banshee is allergic to actually being ridden. It's been starting just fine since my last post. Now I go to load it up to hit the dunes and the same old problem. Just ordered a CDI since another member on here described the same problem I'm having and a new OEM Stator didn't fix it. Everything else in the electrical system is brand new except the Stator and it tested good. Here's hoping I get to ride this damn thing sometime this year.

Do you have a Ricky stator I take it

As far as I know it's still the stock stator.

If you have a keyed ignition switch, try bypassing it.

I do have a keyed ignition switch. It's actually brand new as well because the original key switch wouldn't kill the engine. The new one doesn't either. The handlebar ignition switch kills it just fine.

Cdi was bad. Let it warm up and she restarts fine. The key switch works now too. Thanks to John at jds for getting it to me so quickly.
