guns4children Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Light plug side seems to run fine. The darker side cuts out at high rpm. What the heck is going on? You think the light side is too lean? That's just a few passes going from 1st to 3rd/4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Trim a 1/4” of coil wire off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swapped plug wires stayed one right side. Reeds look like this I dont know if that's good or bad. The edges dont look frayed and i dont see any cracks but it looks like it's real thin and they might have some holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 You should not be able to see any gap between reed and cage. From your pics it sure looks like you can see a gap. No good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayesully810 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) from what ive experienced with bad reeds, it wont even get to high rpms, cut outs every where in the rpm range did you check all electrical stuff yet? Sounds like you did coil wire trim already with no dice ohm your caps, stator and coil leads and secondaries and see if those check out. If your cdi was bad I was think that it wouldnt have spark.

guns4children Posted July 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Testing the stator I got green to red And the other two I got None of these seem to be right what am I doing wrong?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Head gasket ? Just a suggestion. If it’s not electric, narrows it down alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guns4children Posted July 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 RRL told me the stator looks like it's not testing out. Guess I can order one of those and see if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Look at the book if the value your looking for is kohm use the k setting on tester , if there’s no k symbol in front of ohm symbol use the regular 200 setting. Testers can be a pain if you don’t use it a lot, my flukes have auto function so it’s a lot easier . General rule of thumb when I’m trouble shooting , side specific is not stator related issues. Reeds look equally worn, pressure test coolant system and crank case. . One both of those checks out move on to electrical then fuel.

JUSTWANNARACE Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Pull the coil off clean mounts down to bare metal, remount coil. Do the same with the cdi ground(black wire, usually mounted with the voltage regulator) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
