DieselJoe Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 Picked up this banshee for $500 last night, guy I got it from got it in a package deal and didn't want anything to do with it, anywho, quads pretty complete, I can tell it's been sitting a while, has bad gas, wiring is a bit iffy, worst of all no spark. Engine does have 125psi in each cylinder though, so that's a good starting point. Anyway I took off the tank and plastics to look over the wiring, under the tank there is a 3 way splice being bridged to another wire by wire nuts, any idea what this could be for? Also all key ignition wires were cut, so I put the 2 wires together however that did not give me spark, so there's still a problem somewhere. I've never trouble shot wiring on an atv before, so could someone give me a hand on where to start? What to look for? I would assume start at the stator then cdi then coil, but I do not know how to test these pieces. Here are some pictures: Quote
troyzstang Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 Bike looks great for $500 hundo. Wiring is fairly basic. Just don't over think it. It will drive you crazy. Keep up posted. BTW Welcome to BansheeHQ Quote
sheerider11 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 But seriously find corey Kennedy (kompulsive concepts) and buy a whole brand new harness. Literally the cheapest easiest investment into your time and frustration. Eliminate that cluster fuck you have there. Save yourself the headache. 2 Quote
DieselJoe Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Posted June 24, 2016 Whoops I actually wanted to post this in the repairs section, can an admin please move this for me? Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 Good find! Hit up kompulsive concepts on Facebook for a new harness. If that doesn't work next check coil, cdi and stator. You want oem yamaha electronics. None of that after market junk. 2 Quote
sleeper06 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 He will also sell u just the weatherpack connectors if your confident in wiring. If not just order a harness from him, if that's out in the open I can only imagine what's hiding Quote
DieselJoe Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) So I ohms tested my stator today, and the ignition coil was at about 25.5 ohms (when max is 20.5), pick up coil was within spec, and lightning coil was at 9.5-10 ohms (when max is 0.38) Could this cause my no spark condition? Took off the flywheel cover and noticed it was kind of rusty, is this an issue or normal for a quad of this year? Edited June 24, 2016 by DieselJoe Quote
broke350 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 I agree with getting a new wiring harness. Looking at your pics it seems you have a short considering the burn marks. I picked up a brand new harness from jds customs and it's a real nice piece. I'd replace the stator and CDI now with OEM pieces too. Check the for sale section or put up a wtb ad. Good luck and report back once you get it fixed. Quote
