wielandr Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 I have bashed my brains out trying to figure out what is wrong with my shee. first off their is no spark, i put in a new stator, new coil, and finaly figured out the problem..... the cdi. got one off of ebay pluged it in and she started right up. ran like a raped ape .. for about 4 rides then again no spark. what should i do?

svtkid78 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Test the different wires going into the cdi box and find out what wire is bad going into the box. That may help lead to the problem. Quote
wielandr Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Posted June 25, 2004 checked it and i think its fried but why am i frying cdi's left and right? all the switches check out fine. Quote
svtkid78 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Do you know what you are checking for? Check for ACV from the pulser and from the source excitor going into the box and see what ya get while kicking the bike over Quote
svtkid78 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Only a few reasons that it would keep frying them. If you have everything hooked up right than all I can really think of causing it would be a weak spark or no spark. Is the cushion that it mounts to still there. Maybe vibration. Quote
wielandr Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Posted June 25, 2004 new stator is puttin out good power when kicked over . the cdi bolts directly to frame never had any mounts? when it was running the spark was a strong blue... Quote
svtkid78 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Check for resistance and IB on the coils. Quote
geaux 4 it Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 Check your stator voltage.It might be too much.compare it to another banshee.Check your ground by the cdi and the back of the stator plate. Quote
cdcoxwell Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 You stated that you installed a new coil. Brand new or buddy, ebay new. Anyway you can't get a correct reading on the coil doing it yourself with and ohm meter. You have to take that to the dealership and let'em check it. I had no spark, checked coil first and the ohm readings stated nothing. So I thought I had a bad coil, I was wrong. A couple of members here said that I could not get a correct reading to take it to a dealership. Sure enough I took it in and shee worked fine, even though the ohm readings stated that the coil was dead. Coils seldom, seldom go out. Your readings could state that your coil works fine and it actually doesn't work fine at all. Do you still have TORS??? Quote
banshee04le Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 If it's not already, disconnect the little black TORS module that is mounted on the left frame tube just in front of the gas tank and try it. If not that, and all cdi wiring checks good (not open or shorted to ground), I'd try a new trigger module which is on the timing plate and picks up a magnetic pulse from the flywheel. The flywheel can also lose its magnetism if it has been beat on in an attempt to remove. Quote
wielandr Posted June 28, 2004 Author Report Posted June 28, 2004 thanks for all the help guys. the stator is a brand new ricky stator, the TORS bullshit is all reemoved the little black box is gone. like i said before the stator is putting out good power. i just dont know what to think all the grounds check out good the coil im sure is fine because its brand new (maybe 4 hours on it) im just confused because it did the exact same thing before and it turned out to be the cdi (after i replaced the stator & coil). is it common for cdi"s to go out? if not could a short someplace in the wiring harness cause the cdi to shit on me? i had it into a local repair shop and they tor it apart compleatly and said everything checks out and that it was for sure the cdi. thats when i replaced it and it ran great,then it shit again if anyone has a cdi they arnt using let me know ....thanxa ton guys.
