Stomp77 Posted March 26, 2004 Report Posted March 26, 2004 ok, here's the scoop, I got brand new coil from, yamaha. its on a 97 banshee with no key, no tail light, and tors disconnected. It was this way when i got it. I rode it for a year and then one day blammo , no spark. I took off all of the plastic, and such, ran all of the tests in my book, and the coil tested bad, i replaced it and still nothing. I checked the ground and even ran "beep" tests on most of the wiring, and everything tests out good. The harness has several wires just twisted together, and common sense says there is probably something either connected wrong or not touching where it should. It ran like this before, but someting may have come loose and grounded or something and i did not arrange the wires so i have no idea what exactly should be touching and what should not! is their a RIGHT way to disconnect tors, carb switches, and the key switch? The tors unit is unplugged, the wires coming out of the carbs are cut and capped. The thumb throttle had been replaced by a twist throttle, and the key switch has been hot wired. it has a kill switch and working headlights. Is there any way to test for current flow coming from the stator? I set my v-meter to amps and had my girlfriend kick it over while i held my leads to all of the leads coming from the stator, and got nothing. The only things left to replace would be the CDI, or the stator itself and it tests ok. My book does not talk about the voltage regulator, can it be tested, do they go bad often? has anyone had a similar problem? please help! She's been my favorite possesion for years, but, if i cannot figure this one out pronto she's goin on the auction block, my nerves are shot and my wits are gone!!!!!!!!!!! help a brother save his banshee, peace all! and thanks for looking at my book Quote
JTQuad Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 How much for it? Ill come down from NY for it if its cheap enough - JT Quote
Stomp77 Posted March 27, 2004 Author Report Posted March 27, 2004 2 more parts to go thru then shee's gone... I have tested literally everything. I read that CDI's last a long time, Only it and the voltage regulator are left to replace. Everything else on bike aside from shocks have been replaced. check my signature. Quote
bigwill Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 The manuel will tell you how to check stator-sounds like your problem. Quote
